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 2

The group woke up early for their packed day of touring. They started off the day with a drive to Lublin, where they visited Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin. Although the Yeshiva is empty now (and under a restoration project), the fellows were able to bring it back to life by learning some Pirkei Avot there, followed by singing and dancing. Afterwards they left for Majdanek, another death camp, but this one is very much in tact. The fellows were able to visualize the Nazi crimes and expressed shock and anger at the extent of the cruelty. The group then headed to Markova where they visited the grave of Rav Eli Hemelech. There they danced and sang in his honour.
