Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships! Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alumni,
Participating in Hasbara Fellowships and learning how to advocate for the homeland that means so much to me has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. The pro-Israel activism training I received on Hasbara Fellowships gave me the necessary communication skills, in-depth knowledge of Mid-East history, and confidence to defend Israel on campus. Moreover, Hasbara continues to provide me with resources such as materials, strategic guidance, grants, and a community of like-minded activists to share ideas with. I plan to use the skills I learned as I enter the workforce and continue my activism.
For ten years now, Hasbara Fellowships has provided Jewish college students with the facts, communication skills, and the critical motivation necessary to defend Israel from its detractors on college campuses. For me and many students, this is a life-changing trip. Since becoming a Hasbara Fellow, I have been in the position to counter anti-Israel sentiments on campus, and have done just that!
I am honored to serve as a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign and to have the chance to give back to an organization making such a difference for our homeland and the Jewish people. Please join me in supporting Hasbara Fellowships, by making a donation in any amount you are able, to help cultivate the next generation of Israel\'s ambassadors.
Thank you,
Andrew G. Weiss
Hasbara Fellow, Summer 2011
