PRO-ISRAEL SOCIAL MEDIA TRAININGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY!

Hasbara Fellowships & BOMAHwith the help of Bar Ilan University School of Communications, partnered to provide pro-Israel students training and guidance in making their pro-Israel social media efforts more effective. 

Itzik Yarkoni, BOMAH founder and executive director, kicked off the tour in Southern California meeting with students at San Diego State University, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Santa Barbara,UC San Diego, and University of Southern California. 
 
The tour continued through the New England region where Itzik met with Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis University, Northeastern University, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Wellesley College. 
 
Itzik trained students to improve the reach of their social media presence through positive and personal content. Each campus also had the opportunity to create an action plan based on their groups goals and needs. Click here to learn more about Hasbara Fellowships' Social Media Initiative.

Michael Woodbury, Boston College

After attending the Hasbara Fellowships training program last winter break, Michael Woodbury decided to actively revive Boston College's pro-Israel student organization, Student Coalition for Israel. Along with two other Hasbara Fellows, he re-launched the organization with an updated constitution and new name, Eagles for Israel. Since their launch the focus has been on gaining awareness around campus to prepare for this fall semester.
