HASBARA FELLOWSHIPS in Israel

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.

The Hasbara Fellowships program consists of mainly three tracks:

1. Educating students on Israeli and Middle East history and politics, focusing specifically on the issues of the Palestinian conflict.
2. Training students to be effective activists on their campuses by sharing tools to create a pro-active pro-Israel campaign.
3. Building students' Jewish identity and knowledge in order to be effective Jewish leaders.

In addition, participants visit important sites throughout the country and meet with political leaders from across the ideological spectrum.

Students will be expected to create a plan for a pro-Israel campaign upon returning to their campus, and will be aided by the Hasbara Fellowships staff in bringing this plan into action.

Cost

The cost of this program is $599, including a round trip flight from New York to Tel Aviv. Other subsidies and scholarships are available.
