Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships!
Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alums,
Participating in the Hasbara Fellowships activism training program in Israel had a profound impact on me. Their in-depth, pro-Israel activism training gave me the knowledge, tools, and confidence to stand up for Israel with pride, and make the case for Israel on campus.
I was so inspired to take action from the program that I joined the Hasbara staff as the East Coast Campus Coordinator from 2006-2007 and had the privilage to support some of the greatest student leaders in the pro-Israel movement in convincing others of the justice of Israel\'s cause. Whether it was by supplying dynamic materials, campaigns, helping secure funding for a program, or offering strategic guidance - we were always there on the frontlines with our students.
We all know that the PR war for Israel\'s image is being waged on college campuses and that Israel faces daily deligitimization, calls for boycotts and divestment, and that professors often use their podium as a soapbox to spout anti-Israel myths. It is incumbant upon us to support those who are fighting, day in and day out, on Israel\'s behalf and in her good name.
I am proud to be honored as a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign and I encourage you to make a gift to an especially effective organization dedicated to safeguarding Israel\'s future and cultivating Jewish leadership. Become a part of the movement to support the next generation of Israel\'s ambassadors.
Thank you,
Jonathan Cohen
