Happy Tenth Anniversary to Hasbara Fellowships!
Dear Friends & Fellow Hasbara Alumni,
The Hasbara Fellowships trip that I attended last December was an incredible program that had an amazing impact on me. Not only did I have the opportunity to see and learn about Israel strategically, but I was able to enhance my advocacy and activism skills in learning the facts both behind and beyond the conflict first-hand.
For me, one of the most inspiring parts of the trip was being surrounded by a network of other highly motivated and passionate pro-Israel advocates. Every single student on the trip was educated, knowledgeable, and passionate about making the case for Israel, as well as eager to engage others in discussion. Since the trip, we have kept in touch for support and guidance in making the case for Israel on our respective campuses. Hasbara has played an essential role in supporting pro-Israel discourse and programming initiatives at my campus, providing training, talking points, tabling materials and grants to bring in expert speakers that we first heard in Israel on our trip.
I am proud to be a Co-Chair in Hasbara\'s Tenth Anniversary Campaign for it has truly strengthened the pro-Israel movement on my campus. Please help support Israel by making a donation, in any amount you are able, to Hasbara Fellowships so that the next generation of student leaders will have the same level of training, guidance, and resources that I had.
Thank you,
Jeni Willenzik
