"Instead of funnelling money into ads, or into legacy #Jewish organisations in #America which have, regrettably, dropped the ball in so many different ways – empower those who know how young people think because they are young themselves.

This is not the first #Superbowl ad that #Kraft’s #BlueSquareAlliance Against Hate has run, but it really should the last. It’s time to stop coming up with late 20th-century solutions to 21st-century problems.

And best of luck to the #Patriots, Robert."

"#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."
