Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships!

Dear Friends & Hasbara Alums,

As you may already know, I\'ve been involved with Hasbara Fellowships for a few years now.  With a variety of great channels through which to further explore my Zionism and strengthen my leadership skills, I have no doubt that I chose the right path - Hasbara, and those with the vision to establish such a wonderful organization only ten years ago, have blessed me tremendously, both in my personal and professional lives.  

I started my journey with Hasbara when I had just assumed the position of President of SC Students for Israel.  Charged with the awesome responsibility of being Israel\'s face on campus, I didn\'t take the challenge lightly and sought a partner with the same perspective.  Hasbara was a perfect match - a bottom up organization which offered professional advocacy skills and training, but also recognized that students know what is best for their campuses.  Hasbara\'s intensive pro-Israel activism training and guidance have unequivocally helped lead me to where I am today.  

I am thrilled to be an Honoree in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign and I hope that you will join me in making a contribution to an especially effective organization cultivating tomorrow\'s ambassadors for Israel.  Become a part of the movement to convince tomorrow\'s policy makers of the justice of Israel\'s cause!

Thank you,

Shanel Melamed
