JewBelong.com a non-profit online resource founded by former Manhattan Mini Storage chief branding officer Archie Gottesman and Starch Branding co-founder Stacy Stuart, has launched an awareness campaign targeting the rise of antisemitism both in the US and around the world. “JewBelong or JewBeGone” has kicked off with 750 tongue-in-cheek digital ads running across Manhattan that read, “Here’s an idea: Let’s ask everyone who’s wondering if antisemitism is real to wear a yarmulke for a week and then report back.” The campaign will run through at least July, beginning with LINK digital ads, and then adding billboards and print posters in high-traffic locations such as PATH Trains and Times Square. JewBelong has also announced the Jewish Partisan Prize to recognize influencers who are standing up against antisemitism on Instagram and other social media platforms
