- The current rise in global antisemitism is startling. How can we feel safe in a world that is increasingly hostile to Judaism? And what should we be doing about it? In this session, we will do a deep dive into a very visible response we are seeing across American cities. In an attempt to bring the danger of antisemitism to the forefront of society’s consciousness, JewBelong launched a multi-media campaign to call it out as loudly as possible. You might have seen its bright pink ads and billboards with such eye-catching language as “Does your church need armed guards? ‘Cause our synagogue does. #EndJewHate” or “Being woke and antisemitic is like being a vegan who eats veal. #EndJewHate”. How did this campaign come to be? What is its goal? And what can we be doing to help? Join JewBelong’s Co-founder Archie Gottesman to understand more deeply what JewBelong is doing to fight back against antisemitism.
Archie Gottesman is the co-founder of JewBelong.com, a groundbreaking organization and web-based platform focused on rebranding Judaism to make it more warm, relevant and welcoming for all, no matter where they are on their Jewish journey! Using slogans like: “We’re just 75 years since the gas chambers. So no, a billboard calling out Jew hate isn’t an overreaction,” on billboards in Times Square and across the country, JewBelong also focuses on ending the growing antisemitism in the US. Archie resides in New York City.
I love the billboards. Saw the posters on your website the other day. Thank you for your work. 💙🇮🇱
I like the message! But what if I identify as a billboard?
I see very very little of what you are talking about. I see an awful lot of anger over the IDF bombing civilians.

Why tf would I want to end it?
Thanks for reminding us why we're doing this work. You unite us Jews like no other force in the world.
Yeah, I know! It proves you are one tribe working together. We're definitely showing the world what you are, and in your hubris you think it means you are going to win.@@activistmalpractice
Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.
THANK YOU!!! Very simple message, yet CRITICALLY IMPERATIVE!!!!
@MaritimeMcnulty What the fucking stinking god damned hell are you talking about??? How many Jewish people live here in the United States???????????? How many Jews live in Europe, and throughout the rest of the world??????????????????? They could even have gone to Palestine and lived there, except that they somehow feel entitled either kill non jews or kick them off a land that they've lived in for hundreds and hundreds of years!!! That border wall will come down, the Palestinian people will be free, and jews that cannot handle it, will have to go see a psychiatrist!!! Jews ARE NOT GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE!!! THEY JUST THINK THEY ARE!!! GET OVER YOURSELVES AND LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
