Hasbara Fellowships

Hasbara Fellowships is a leadership development seminar for top Jewish university students from across North America. Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, there is a necessity to develop young Jewish leaders who are educated and knowledgeable about Israeli history and politics, as well as capable of communicating a pro-Israel message to the Diaspora community, specifically on college campuses.

September 17th marked the kickoff of a semester long program called Knowledge Based Zionism. The program will feature such speakers as David Olesker from the Jerusalem Center for Advocacy Training, Director of Hasbara Fellowships Elliot Mathias and many many more.

Montreal started this breakthrough program last semester and it had received acclaimed success. So much that similar programs are being implemented on campuses across North America.

Students who complete the 7 week program receive a stipen towards either Hasbara Fellowships or any other pro-Israel trip to Israel. A special thanks to Efrat Sun who is the program coordinator.
