Happy 10th Birthday to Hasbara Fellowships!
Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alumni,
Let me share with you why I found Hasbara Fellowships to be such a uniquely effective pro-Israel activism organization....
Hasbara Fellowships is for those Israel activists on campus who want to take their advocacy to the next level. As a proponent of any cause, an individual can only be as effective as his or her own knowledge and understanding of what they are attempting to articulate. The Hasbara training in Israel offered me a fantastic opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and experience in some of the most difficult issues Israel faces.
For instance, by witnessing and speaking with the people of Hebron and Sderot, I was able to gain an insider\'s perspective on hot button issues like rockets from Gaza and the settlements. Along with those experiences, we heard briefings by some of the foremost experts of the conflict. I also obtained necessary tools in order to be a more effective voice for Israel. For example, I learned how to write an op-ed, effective public speaking techniques, and how to create a pro-Israel video.
Please support Hasbara Fellowships by making a 10th Anniversary gift. Help support the next generation of pro-Israel activists to make an impact!
