Speaker Bio
For 20 years, I was fairly anti-Israel and not just due to the media, but mostly because of the Jewish organizations I was part of – organizations that used terms such as Palestinians (not meaning Jews in Israel from 136 AD – 1948), settlements, settlers, West Bank, East Jerusalem, terms such as ‘both sides,’ and who shared that the UN ‘created’ Israel in 1948 or that Herzl ‘founded’ Israel. It was that misinformation as my sole knowledge source that I then used to spread lies about Israel to my then mostly non-Jewish friends.
I became a proud Zionist in 2014, and since then, have been educating on Israel and the Middle East with a focus on pure historical facts; it is those facts that helped me convert thousands of people (Jews and non-Jews) to be pro-Israel.
Two years ago, I launched Taking Back the Narrative, a Zionism education company, whose mission is to prove the Jewish continuous presence in the Jewish homeland, since Jews emerged from the Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria, 4,000 years ago. Filling in the 2,000 year ‘gap’ most skip over, from the last (partial) Exile in 70 AD to the liberation of Israel by brave Jews in 1948, is essential to combating antisemitism. As is utilizing accurate, non-antisemitic terminology.
Taking Back the Narrative has a wide-array of Zionism education tools:
- The website itself (www.tbtnisrael.com)
- A Zionism education class taught four times per year (Israel Explained: Through the Lens of History) – https://tbtnisrael.com/zionism-education-class/
- Newsletter (The Zionist Corner) https://tbtnisrael.com/articles/
- TBTN Podcast – https://tbtnisrael.com/podcast/
- Creating Zionism programming for Jewish non-profits
