"Social media is a critical tool in the future of education and these creators are at the forefront of this as young Jewish educators" - Ellanora Lerner

In this article, Ellanora Lerner gathers a handful of Jewish activists and presents the importance of their involvement in the activist community on Instagram while giving a brief overview of what each activist posts, their activism passion, and the possible struggles each activist faces when posting or interacting with followers. Lerner also emphasizes the importance of Jewish activism online and the certain educational aspects that can be brought about by such a presence, specifically in combatting antisemitism. In one example, an activist describes a post on Israel receiving far more outreach that her other posts, and the hate she was exposed to by hundreds of people who didn't even follow her.
