Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships! Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alumni,
It was only a little over a year ago that I was accepted to participate in the Hasbara Fellowships trip to Israel. I was elated to take part in this wonderful opportunity. While I had the passion to stand up for Israel on my campus, I needed the comprehensive training and knowledge to make my message effective. Hasbara Fellowships not only provided me with the tools to do that, but they inspired me to grow my Israel advocacy to reach a whole new level. Now, I am the President of Temple University Students for Israel and plan to launch the first ever pro-Israel campaign across Temple University’s campus. I know my achievements would not be possible without the tremendous amount of training, strategic guidance, materials, and support from Hasbara Fellowships.
Hasbara Fellowships provides education, training, and a once in a lifetime experience that is essential to cultivating successful, pro-Israel activists on college campuses across North America. Hasbara Fellowships teaches students that Israel advocacy is not about winning or losing, but is about educating people about the true Israel, beyond what the media shows us. Sometimes being a pro-Israel activist becomes tiring and the work seems impossible to tackle. However, Hasbara Fellowships gives students the guidance and support to face these tough issues. My trip remains a network of peers that can provide advice and ideas.
I am proud to be a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign and I encourage you to join me in supporting the next generation of Israel advocates, by making a donation in any amount you are able.
Thank you,
Paige Guber
Hasbara Fellow, Summer 2011
