Dear Friends, Family, and Hasbara Alumni,

This past winter break, I was fortunate to participate in the Hasbara Fellowships activism training program in Israel, and had an incredible exeperience.   

I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge on this trip, both from the speakers, seminars, and visits to strategic sites that Hasbara provided to us, and from the various perspectives that the students on the trip had to offer. Hasbara changed the way in which I advocate for Israel. Since returning from my Hasbara trip, I have realized how important it is for me to be strong in my campus activism and to become a leader in the pro-Israel movement on my campus.

We need your help so that the next generation of Israel\'s ambassadors will be afforded the same high-level training and strategic guidance offered by Hasbara Fellowships. Your support is critical at this time in history: while hostility towards Israel on campus is escalating, the bigger problem that the pro-Israel community faces is apathy.

 I am proud to be a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign and  I encourage you to join me in supporting Hasbara Fellowships, to give Israel a voice on campuses across North America. 

Thank you,

Shira Masha Frishman
