ZOA S FUEL FOR TRUTZOA’S FUEL FOR TRUTH
HISTORICAL ANALYSIS: Our trained volunteer-experts
provide deep historical knowledge and context about the Middle
East leading up to the establishment of the State of Israel, major
events that shaped the Jewish state over the past seven decades,
as well as information about the current political climate.
WORLD-CLASS SPEAKERS: In an intimate setting, Boot
Camp participants hear from key individuals who provide
exclusive insights relating to Israel. Past speakers include
“The Case for Israel” author and Harvard Law professor Alan
Dershowitz, Israeli Ambassadors Ron Prosor and Ido Aharoni,
former US Ambassador to Morocco Marc Ginsberg, New York
Times columnist and former Jerusalem Post editor Bret Stephens,
Combined Jewish Philanthropies Strategic Israel Engagement
Director Aviva Klompas, StandWithUs Northeast Executive
Director Shahar Azani, AIPAC Northeast Deputy Director Dr.
Sharon Goldman, and The Israel Project Managing Director
Omri Ceren.
PROVEN COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Participants are
taught how to have impactful conversations with different
audience personas and in multiple environments, using the
principles of game theory and experiential memory.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: One of the most vital aspects
of this program is developing the sense of community between
alumni. Through weekly social gatherings at a local bar following
each Boot Camp session, to summer retreats and other events,
participants create long-lasting connections with the ZOA’s
FFT community. Alumni are consistently engaged and provided
with ways to stay involved in the Jewish and pro-Israel world,
including classes, speaker series, parties, Shabbat dinners,
rallies and conferences.
MOCK SIMULATIONS: Participants engage in social scenarios
replicating real-world environments, allowing them to practice
and build upon the methodologies taught in class.
