Introducing the Defending Israel Series: Empowering a New Generation of Advocates

At JA Foundation we believe that every Jew has a role to play in standing up for Israel. With misinformation and bias surrounding Israel often dominating public discourse, it's more important than ever to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to advocate effectively. That’s why we’re proud to launch the Defending Israel Series—a comprehensive program designed to educate, inspire, and empower anyone who seeks to be a voice for Israel.

What is the Defending Israel Series?

The Defending Israel Series is a curated collection of virtual classes, lectures, and resources led by leading experts in Israeli history, politics, and advocacy. Each session dives into key topics such as:

• The historical and legal foundations of Israel’s existence.

• Navigating and responding to media bias.

• Effective strategies for countering common misconceptions.

• Engaging in productive conversations about Israel in today’s polarized environment.

Through this series, participants will gain a well-rounded understanding of Israel’s story, enabling them to approach discussions with confidence and clarity.

Why These Resources Matter

Israel’s role as the homeland of the Jewish people is central to our identity, yet it is constantly challenged on the world stage. The rise in antisemitism and the prevalence of misinformation about Israel have created a pressing need for education and advocacy.

The Defending Israel Series addresses this need by providing:

• Accessible Education: High-quality content available anytime, anywhere, so individuals can learn at their own pace.

• Expert Insights: Guidance from renowned educators, historians, and advocates who offer nuanced perspectives and practical advice.

• Community Building: A platform for like-minded individuals to connect, share ideas, and strengthen their collective voice.

How We Expect to Make a Difference

The Defending Israel Series isn’t just about learning facts—it’s about inspiring action. By equipping participants with knowledge and tools, we aim to:

• Foster a sense of pride and connection to Israel.

• Combat misinformation through accurate and articulate responses.

• Empower individuals to advocate for Israel in their personal networks, social media platforms, and communities.

• Build a strong, unified voice in support of Israel across diverse Jewish communities worldwide.

A Vision for the Future

We envision a world where every Jew feels empowered to stand up for Israel and share its story with authenticity and confidence. The Defending Israel Series is a step toward that vision, creating a ripple effect of education, awareness, and advocacy that will strengthen Israel’s place in the global conversation.
