Philly Update

Nov 19, 2010

By: Gabe Toran

A lot has been going on in Philly in the past few weeks. The Philly BDS movement is heating up, and hummus is the target! Who knew hummus could get so political? After hearing about an BDS flash mob at the Fresh Grocer off Penn's campus, many Jewish students decided to take action. Click here to read more about the affair in this past week's issue of The Jewish Exponent, and learn how many Jewish students counteracted the BDS movement by buying the store dry of hummus!

Also this week at Penn, Hasbara Fellow Rebecca Borison is heading a fundraiser for the Save a Child's Heart campaign. With help from the Penn Israel Coalition, Alpha Epsilon Pi, PennPMA, and Hillel, students have been tabling outside on Penn's campus, providing hot chocolate and information about this amazing organization, in order to create awareness about children in need and how SACH works very hard every day to try and give aid to children all over the globe.

Around the corner at Drexel, Hasbara Fellow Shani Weiss is finishing up a strong semester of programming with Jonathon Schanzer, Vice President of Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, on December 1st. Earlier this week, Shani brought University of Utah law professor Amos Guiora to speak about Middle East Peace talks, which brought out 50 students!

On Tuesday, Hasbara's very own National Director, Natalie Menaged, stopped by Rutgers to give an activism training session to students at the Rutgers Hillel. The session was very well received by the students and got them motivated to do work on campus for Israel. Interested in learning how to stand up for Israel on campus? Want a quick session to cover the key points? Contact me to find out how you can bring an activism training session to your campus for FREE! Contact me at gtoran@hasbarafellowships.org.
