It was a busy month for HR’s North American Executive Director Gary Kenzer, who traveled through three states to train Israel’s supporters in media literacy and advocacy, and to give an in-depth analysis of media coverage of the recent Gaza war.
Gary’s first speaking engagement, during the holiday of Succoth, took place at the Northwest Succoth and Hebrew Nation Radio One Nation Succoth celebration in beautiful Canby, Oregon.
Gary gave a two hour presentation to several hundred people on how to be a better media advocate for Israel by using the tools developed by HonestReporting.
Following the presentation, one of the participants commented, “I am grateful to Honest Reporting for standing on guard for Israel and enabling all of us to be advocates too and please continue that excellent work you do and keep us involved.”
In addition, Gary made his monthly appearance on the Hebrew Nation radio program.
A week later, Gary gave two presentations at Congregation Shalom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one to the adult congregation and the other to the synagogue’s youth wing.
Gary spoke about the recent Gaza Operation Protective Edge and how the media failed to present Israel’s side. For the youth event later that day, he spoke to 50 high school students on how to be a better media advocate.
Finally, Gary made his annual visit to Congregation Beth Judea in Long Grove, Illinois to speak to a group of 7th graders about why the media is important and how to understand what is being reported about Israel.
The congregation has had a long-standing tradition hosting Gary and HonestReporting, and his appearances help reinforce the congregation’s support for Israel.
