EXPERT TIPS ON
ISRAEL ADVOCACY
The Zionist
Organization
of America-
Michigan Region
will present Israel
advocacy trainer
David Olesker
speaking on
David Olesker
“Advocating for
Israel: How to Win When You Can’t
Afford to Lose” at 1 p.m. Sunday,
April 10, at Congregation Beth
Shalom in Oak Park.
When one debates Mideast issues,
even though the facts are on Israel’s
side, the other side is often supported
by an emotionally driven narrative
of victimhood. Olesker will present
techniques needed to create a new
conceptual frame in which the story
of Israel captures hearts as well as
minds.
The event is free. For more infor-
mation, contact the ZOA at Kobi@
mizoa.org or (248) 661-6000.
