Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships! Dear Friends, Family, and Hasbara Alumni,
This wi nter break I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to participate in the Hasbara Fellowships activism training program in Israel. This experience provided me with the much-needed tools to counter the anti-Israel propaganda on my campus, CUNY Brooklyn. It gave me the confidence, knowledge, and communication skills necessary to stand up for Israel to biased professors and students as well as facilitate pro-Israel programs and education on my campus. Without the Hasbara training, I’m sure I could not have done as much as I have in the little time I’ve been back. And I can’t wait to do more!
For ten years, Hasbara has had a proven track record of empowering students to take action to protect Israel\'s reputation against the vicious lies and attacks taking place at universities across North America. Having personally encountered anti-Israel sentiment both during college and in the workforce, I am thankful to Hasbara for giving me, and Israel, a voice. We already know that tomorrow\'s decision makers are attending our universities today - and this is why it\'s imperative for us to support those who are dedicated to convincing others of the justice of Israel\'s cause.
I am proud to be a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign, and I hope you will join me, in supporting the next generation of Israel\'s ambassadors by making a donation, in any amount you are able.
Thank you,
Melanie Goldberg
Hasbara Fellow, Winter 2011-2012
