I don’t care if I get hate for this! Ralph Lauren(Ralph Lifshitz) is an American Icon and an incredible example of the American Dream. I have ALWAYS been a fan of his clothing. It is classic and made impeccably. If you hate him because he is Jewish, that is a YOU problem. He is one of the few designers that didn’t sell off the rights to his brand for the all mighty dollar. This man should be a role model for every young person dreaming of becoming an American Clothing Designer. God Bless him 🙏 @RalphLauren They called for a boycott. We call it something else: a reason to stand taller. We are Jewish Projects Ralph Lauren was born Ralph Lifshitz, the son of Jewish immigrants from Belarus, and grew up in the Bronx. He studied in Jewish schools, came from a modest home, and built one of the most recognizable American fashion brands in the world. His own company describes his story as one rooted in dreams: a boy from the Bronx imagining a world far beyond what he could see outside his window. Today, decades later, Ralph Lauren is facing calls for a boycott after the brand celebrated Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress, in imagery from her September 2026 Modern Luxury cover shoot wearing Ralph Lauren. The reaction online included calls to block and boycott the brand, while many others immediately pointed out the irony: Ralph Lauren himself is Jewish. That is why this story is bigger than fashion. It is the story of a Jewish boy named Ralph Lifshitz who grew up in the Bronx and turned his dreams into a global symbol of American style. And now, when an Israeli woman is attacked simply for being Israeli and proudly connected to her country, we refuse to disappear or apologize. ■ We support Ralph Lauren. ■ We support Gal Gadot. ■ We support the right of Jews and Israelis to stand proudly in the world. No boycott will erase who we are. Jewish Projects stands proudly with both of them.
