Kassy Dillon

Journalist

In 2023, Kassy Dillon, a reporter and Fox News journalist based in Boston, completed a 7-year conversion process of becoming a Jew, having undergone extensive learning to complete an Orthodox conversion. Dillon announced the completion of her conversion on Twitter, where she thanked all those who had supported her through "a very long journey with lots of ups and downs" and shared a photo of herself with a Star of David and the words "Devorah Ruth Bat Sarah" — her new Hebrew name. Dillon, a long-time supporter of the State of Israel, is also known for her contributions to US presidential candidate Nikki Haley's organization, Stand For America. In 2023, Dillon announced she was joining Fox News. Her interest in Israel was sparked by a tragedy in the Jewish state when three Israeli teens were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, leading to Operation Protective Edge in 2014. At the time, Dillon herself was only 18 years old. (Photo: Instagram)
