Lizzy Savetsky: Becoming a Jewish Influencer and Israel Advocate [Outreach 4/5]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Lizzy Savetsky, who went from a career in singing and fashion to being a Jewish activist and influencer, about her work advocating for Israel online.

While, in past decades, Jewish thought leaders were mainly only rabbis and rebbetzins, the current information revolution is transforming our notions of what it means to be a Jewish public figure. In this episode we discuss:

How did Lizzy’s life path take her from being a recipient of Jewish outreach to doing a form of outreach herself?
How should we weigh the opportunities and dangers of social media?
How did Lizzy decide to give up her previous career to speak out for Israel full-time?

Tune in to hear a conversation about the democratization of mass influence and what that means for the Jewish People.

Interview begins at 11:57.

Lizzy Savetsky is a digital influencer who uses her platform to advocate for causes that are close to her heart. She shares her journey of fashionable motherhood on her social media channels, often featuring her two young daughters and baby boy. Lizzy is an outspoken activist for Israel and the Jewish People and works with numerous non-profit, philanthropic movements to support her people and homeland.
