Promiser Spotlight: Daniel Posner

Daniel Posner is the founder and chairman of Athletes For Israel, a nonprofit organization that leverages the world of sports to combat antisemitism and racism while promoting a positive narrative about Israel. Since 2019, he has also served as the Chief Investment Officer at Rensop Investment Group.

Can you tell us about your background and what led you to establish Athletes for Israel?

My background is in the Hedge Fund and Private Equity industry. For years, I found myself feeling frustrated with the way Israel was portrayed in the media and felt compelled to do something about it. I’m a huge sports fan and a big believer in the power of sports to build bridges. I had the idea that we could use sports to reach a wide range of different people and give them access to a better image of Israel through the sports stars they admire, and help fight antisemitism and racism using this lens for Israel advocacy. By bringing major athletes to Israel and having them post about their experiences on social media, they reach thousands and even millions of fans and provide organic and authentic insight into what Israel is really like – beyond the bias often seen in the media.  

What inspired you to focus on bringing non-Jewish athletes to Israel, and what impact do you hope these experiences have on them?

I always say to my staff that if we reach 15 million Jews, we’ve failed. We’re not looking to tell people who already know about Israel why it’s so great – we’re looking to reach those who are most likely to get biased information from the media, or even those who have no opinion at all, and offer a real view into the diversity, beauty and culture of the Holy Land. We provide highly tailored trips that allow athletes to experience the history and visit the major holy sites of importance to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, as well as enjoy the fun of the Dead Sea and the nightlife of Tel Aviv. We have witnessed their eyes open to an Israel beyond the headlines—that it’s a vibrant country with an open society and overall a great place to visit and feel welcomed. Most importantly, the values of democracy and freedom are shared by all Americans, and nothing beats seeing it with one's own eyes.

The recent conference at Auburn University was a significant moment for Jewish students across the country. What was the goal of that retreat, and do you think it was achieved?

At a time when many Jewish students feel uncomfortable due to growing antisemitism on campuses across America, Auburn stands out as a university that is welcoming and inviting. The Auburn Tigers, now the #1 men’s college basketball team, came to Israel with Athletes For Israel and is still connected and shows love and support for Israel and the Jewish people. The Athletes For Israel (AFI) Auburn Experience was meant as a display of gratitude to the team, Coach Bruce Pearl, and the Auburn community overall for their solidarity. As part of our program, we spent meaningful time volunteering at a local soup kitchen and assisting at a food pantry. Further, we used the Auburn Experience to launch our Eddie Jacobson Leadership Training for Jewish teens- teaching young Jewish athletes and leaders how to stand up against antisemitism and racism and to advocate for Israel in their daily lives, particularly through their sports journeys. Of course, Coach Bruce Pearl, a member of our board, is a proud Jew and advocate for Israel, and he inspires kids to also be proud of being Jewish and to advocate for Israel. It was a wonderful experience that made a deep and lasting impression on all of us who were there, as well as the millions of people who followed along on social media.
