Digital Ambassador Testimonials
Judith Rosenbluth from the University of Maryland
“Being an ISRAEL21c Digital Ambassador has given me such a supportive community which has inspired and driven me to keep posting and sharing Israel-related news. Keeping up with and sharing all the positive articles that ISRAEL21c posts helps me and my followers feel connected to Israel.”
Eitan Gitlin from Muhlenberg College
“Being an ISRAEL21c Digital Ambassador has given me the chance to meet people from around the country who are interested in Israel. Ever since I came back from my gap year in Israel, I noticed that there was a lot of negative news surrounding Israel in America. I realized that I needed to do something to change that, so when I heard about this program I knew that I wanted to get involved. If there was one thing that I would want the world to know about Israel, it would be that there are so many amazing people there. Everybody needs to go and visit Israel and experience it first hand.”
Laura Malomo Menelle from Argentina
“I love being part of the ISRAEL21c Digital Ambassador team. We learn a lot from each other. I think Israel is full of surprises. Its cultural richness makes it unique and sharing good news about the country is a way of letting people learn about its characteristics.”
May Solomon from UCLA
“When I first started ISRAEL21c, I honestly had no idea what direction I wanted to go career-wise. I was confused, and all I knew was that I had a passion for Israel, and figured I would apply to be an ambassador. Not only did ISRAEL21c strengthen my love and admiration for the state of Israel, but I also fell in love with marketing, and now have a full-time job at a huge marketing firm as a Social Media Specialist, post-graduation.
I can wholeheartedly say that my internship at ISRAEL21c is the reason why I decided to go down the marketing path, and I am so happy that this internship led me to my career. During my time as an ambassador, I learned skills that will be beneficial throughout my career, made new friends, and worked in a united team environment, which grew my leadership skills. The staff was always there to help, ensuring that ambassadors were always confident, up to date with everything, and gave us constant advice and support 24/7. Overall, I recommend this program to anyone who has a passion for Israel. It strengthened my skills in marketing, Israel, and led me to where I am today.”
Marcella Bluth from Wayne State University
“My favorite thing about ISRAEL21c’s Digital Ambassador Program is the opportunity to create a new light within such clouded times. The perception of Israel within the media is skewed and out of context. People often hate because they believe in a fabrication far away from the truth. I get to educate and inspire people to learn, accept, and respect Israel. Israel is more than just a headline story… It is a people, a culture, and a home.”
