Being Pro-Israel on campus doesn’t only mean being defensive against BDS and other Anti-Israel campus activities. Learn how future ZOA Trip Participant Chloe Valdary made a positive impact without the negativity!
It was out of this thought process that the first annual pro-Israel rally in New Orleans, Louisiana, was born. On January 28, 2013, “Declare Your Freedom” (DYF) took place at the University of New Orleans (UNO). I along with my good friend Maor Shapira, sought to change the typical Arab-Israeli narrative by introducing the Zionist creed first into the campus setting.
UNO had previously no anti-Israel events on campus, but at the same time, it had no pro-Israel events on campus either. Declare Your Freedom changed that by declaring publicly that we fellow students on campus were Zionists and proud.

More than 60,000 Jewish Scouts and 25,000 Arab Scouts participate across Israel, and a North American branch serves 2,000 Hebrew-speaking kids.
Tzofim learn how to tie knots, orienteer, build a campfire and perform community service just like Scouts do in other countries. But this 94-year-old coed, multiethnic youth movement focuses on fostering future societal leaders from the bottom up, putting many responsibilities in the hands of the young people themselves.

Tzofim was the first Zionist youth movement in Israel and remains the country’s official national youth movement. This year, more than 160 Tzofim “tribes” (troops) in 105 municipalities, encompassing more than 60,000 Jewish members and 25,000 Arab members, offer twice-weekly activities in addition to joint trips and summer camps.
