Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships!
Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alums,
I am proud to be a Co-Chair for Hasbara Fellowships\' Tenth Anniversary Campaign. Hasbara truly changed my life! It gave me the confidence and advocacy skills to defend Israel not only on campus, but in my corporate life as well.
As a student at SUNY Oswego, I was unprepared to respond to the anti-Israel attacks and programs that were a constant on my campus. I knew that I needed support and heard about the Hasbara Fellowships activism training program. I am so thankful to have participated in the program because not only did I learn from some of the most fantastic, effective pro-Israel campus leaders across North America, but I gained the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to \"fight the good fight\" on campus.
Moreoever, the Hasbara staff impressed upon me that as Jewish leaders it is incumbant upon each and every one of us to do whatever we can to support Israel\'s right to live in security and protect the Jewish people. This sense of responsibility and unity has stayed with me so many years later.
So, please, friends and fellow HF alums....make a gift to Hasbara Fellowships in recognition of ten years dedicated solely to producing the next generation of Israel\'s ambassadors. It is crucial to support Hasbara, because they are truly on the front lines of the PR battle against Israel, empowering and motivating students to convince others of the justice of Israel\'s cause.
Thank you,
Wendy Erdheim
