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.

Poland and Israel- Day 1

Following their delayed departure from New York, the Poland-Israel group landed in Warsaw and headed straight for a tour of the remaining Ghetto walls. Then they headed to Treblinka, one of the death camps. The students saw how today nothing remains there but monuments erected in the memory of the victims. The fellows were educated with a vast amount of history regarding the camp in order to help them truly feel the reality of what occurred there. They then returned to Warsaw where they stayed overnight.
