Learn More About Israel Advocacy College students and young adults can learn the "Five Rules of Effective Israel Advocacy" from Neil Lazarus, an internationally Neil Lazarus acclaimed expert on the Middle East and Israel advocacy, at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 23, while they enjoy a free dinner at Jerusalem Pizza in the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield. Sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit, the semi- nar will give students the tools they need to effectively deal with unfair criticism of Israel that they encounter on campus and in the workplace, and to develop reasoned responses to unfounded myths and falsehoods. Based in Jerusalem, Lazarus is emerging as one of Israel's leading keynote speakers. He has helped train a new generation of Israeli diplomats, as well as Israel's Army and Air Force spokespeople. The program and dinner are free and open to area col- lege students and young adults. Reservations are requested. Neil Lazarus' U.S. tour is spon- sored by the Consulate General of Israel.
