"#Hailing from “the middle of nowhere,” #Massachusetts, an #AmericanUniversity #swimmer is now on a national platform for her leadership and #Jewish pride.

#RebeccaSiegel is among the 17 Jewish #collegiate #athletes recently selected as ambassadors by the #BlueSquareAlliance Against Hate. She signed a Name, Image and Likeness deal in December, part of the alliance’s second cohort.

The #athlete ambassador program seeks to highlight #Jewishathletes at the collegiate level to promote their multifaceted identities and bolster Jewish pride through social media, according to a press release.

“I’ve always been very proud to be a #Jew, and I’ve also been very proud of who I am as a swimmer,” Siegel said. “I’ve worked really hard for it, so I’m excited that I’m able to use my platform as an athlete to expand on how proud I am as a Jew."

Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon. As of 2014, Greater Beirut has a population of 2.5 million, just under half of Lebanon's population, which makes it the twelfth-largest city in the Levant region and the sixteenth-largest in the Arab world. The city is situated on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's Mediterranean coast. Beirut has been inhabited for more than 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world.

Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital city; Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there, while Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim is widely recognised internationally.

Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The American Colony was a settlement in Jerusalem established by American Christians in the late 19th century. Located on Mount Scopus, it was situated near the city's eastern border and offered panoramic views of the city. The colony played an important role in the early 20th-century history of Jerusalem, particularly during the British Mandate period, and is still remembered today for its significance in the city's religious and cultural heritage.
