Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships!
Dear Friends & Hasbara Alums,
Participating in Hasbara Fellowships had a profound impact on me. Not only did Hasbara\'s in-depth training give me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to stand up for Israel on campus, but it gave me the crucial motivation and strength to take on the difficult challenge of leading the pro-Israel movement at Carnegie Mellon University.
In a place where it wasn\'t unusual to read frequent articles delegitimizing Israel in our school newspaper, have anti-Israel professors using their podium as a soapbox, or popular anti-Israel speakers like Norman Finkelstein and Ali Abunimah, it was necessary to make a stand, and show other Jews on campus, who might have lacked the voice as I once did, to stand up, be counted, and make an impact in strategic, well planned ways, with the assistance of the Hasbara Fellowships staff. Whether it was creative, dynamic materials, strategic advice, or help securing funding for an event, Hasbara was always there.
Please make a gift to this incredibly effective organization, in whatever amount you are able, to help support the next generation of pro-Israel ambassadors.
Thank you,
Rachel Goykhman Lavitas
