Get ready for "Israel Peace Week" 2012! During the month of March, 75 universities across North America will showcase Israel's commitment to peace by participating in the third annual "Israel Peace Week" movement. Hasbara Fellowships has produced an exciting, cutting-edge set of materials and resources for "Israel Peace Week" across the continent including: catchy new fact cards and posters; exciting events, like screenings of the new film about Israel's achievements,"Israel Inside;" programming grants; professional activism training and support; and a revamped website with talking points and additional background resources. Sign your campus up for "Israel Peace Week" and receive a FREE IPW kit today! In 2010, a group of pro-Israel student leaders trained by Hasbara Fellowships developed this powerful and innovative campaign to educate their peers on campus about Israel's efforts for peace. Called "Israel Peace Week (IPW)," the initiative counters anti-Israel propaganda with a simple message: Israel wants peace and has demonstrated its willingness to make painful sacrifices for peace. The campaign also outlines options for peace, existential threats to the Jewish state, and the values and accomplishments of a thriving Israeli democracy in an otherwise despotic region. Last year, Israel advocates at 50 universities organized IPW events, and this year 75 campuses are expected to participate. For more information, visit the "Israel Peace Week" website. |

As part of "Israel Peace Week," Hasbara Fellowships is pleased to host the "Faces of Israel" tour in New York, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Montreal, February 24 - March 3.
"Faces of Israel" is a group of young Israelis representing all sectors of Israeli society, including Arab-Israelis, Ethiopian-Israelis, religious, and secular men and women. They have been chosen as delegates out of hundreds of nominees due to their remarkable personal stories and experiences, to discuss the laughter and tears that they experience in such a tumultuous country and to answer questions personally and truthfully.

The intensive Hasbara Fellowships training program in Israel includes in-depth education, sophisticated advocacy training, and personal experiences that motivate student leaders to become pro-Israel activists. Last season featured many notable highlights, including a lecture by Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, intimate meetings with members of Knesset from across the spectrum, such as MK Einat Wilf and MK Aryeh Eldad, and exclusive briefings at the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
Throughout the program, participants tour Israel's northern borders with Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, as well as visiting Sderot and Israel's border with the Gaza Strip. Participants also tour Gush Etzion and Jerusalem to gain a comprehensive understanding of Israel's considerations regarding land and borders. In Tel Aviv, students are briefed on Israeli developments in hi-tech, and visit the Save A Child's Heart NGO.
Professional consultants coached students to effectively communicate for Israel in public forums, how to run successful campus programming upon returning to their campuses, and methods for combating anti-Israel activity.
This program is exclusively for student activists who have demonstrated leadership, responsibility and commitment to Israel advocacy on campus.
