Dear Friends,
The 2011-2012 year has been a time of major change and progress for The David Project.
The organization set a new course, focusing our energies on the uncommitted majority of
Americans whose sympathies toward Israel cannot be assured in the future. This year’s annual
report provides a comprehensive overview of The David Project’s important work with students
and campus professionals with the goal of positively changing the campus atmosphere on
Israel. Many leading colleges have become venues for the spread of anti-Israel attitudes and
rhetoric. Constant negative messages to students who are only just beginning to formulate
their opinions can erode Israel’s standing long into the future. The David Project helps pro-Israel
college students engage with influential segments of the campus community to increase support
and appreciation for Israel’s democratic system, innovative economy, and quest for peace.
The new plan stresses the importance of “relational advocacy,” being proactive instead of
reactive, and working with students to “map” their campuses in order to identify potential
partners and opinion leaders with whom to engage. The organization is thriving under the
leadership of Executive Director David Bernstein who is harnessing the energy of our staff and
lay teams to carry out this ambitious effort to transform college campuses. Although still in
the early stages of implementation, the new way of approaching campuses has already shown
great promise in moving the campus discussion in a positive direction.

The David Project has maintained a strong financial position because of the generous and
continued support of people like you. Your financial support enables The David Project to
continue to expand its important work of fostering a pro-Israel climate on college campuses
across the country. The college campus is vulnerable to anti-Israelism, and is one place
where the debate is taking place about Israel. If the U.S. is to remain pro-Israel, it’s extremely
important that we help create a balanced and thoughtful environment towards Israel on these
campuses. Supporting the important work of The David Project is your gift to students across
our country and serves as an insurance policy for maintaining and strengthening a strong U.S.Israel relationship into the future. For your sustained philanthropy and commitment to our
mission, we thank you.

From Our Executive Director
Dear Friends,
This has been a year of change and progress for The David Project.
While Israel faces myriad challenges on the global stage, Israel’s
standing on U.S. college campuses shows modest gains. For the first
time in a decade, those of us most active on the campus scene feel
the wind is at our backs. Traditionally challenging places such as
Berkeley and UC Irvine have become far less hostile and far more
balanced. These positive changes are due in large part to a more
sophisticated effort on the part of student leaders and professionals.
David Bernstein
Executive Director
Building on these positive changes and improved methods, The David Project underwent a
comprehensive strategic planning process and began implementing its plan on key campuses
around the country. The plan involves two significant strategic shifts:
1. Moving from a frontal approach to a relational approach to advocacy. While we continue
to educate and train students in content knowledge and debate techniques, our primary
approach to shaping campus opinion is through building relationships with opinion leaders.
Pro-Israel students can make the biggest difference by carefully choosing their target audience
and building strong ties to the leaders who matter the most. Such an effort is aided by The
David Project’s unique upcoming Israel mission, which will take campus opinion leaders, along
with Jewish student leaders, to Israel on an intensive experience, allowing for follow-up among
the participants from each campus.
Commitment to Community Service
Based on the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), The David Project believes
in the importance of giving to the communities in which we live. Embodying this value,
each office devotes partial days to volunteering for
local charities. Throughout the year, as an organization,
we have volunteered at the following places: Cradles
to Crayons, The Greater Boston Food Bank, Leket
Israel, Meir Panim, and Metropolitan Council on Jewish
Poverty. Additionally, we ran food, clothing, and toy
drives to benefit Cradles to Crayons and the Greater
Boston Food Bank.

Volunteer at The Greater Boston Food Bank
The David Project grants each employee up to three
work hours per month to use for community service!
Many employees take advantage of this time.
2. Moving from providing educational services on numerous campuses to guiding campus
transformation on a defined set of campuses. Real change requires an in-depth commitment
and sustained effort. The David Project’s strategic plan involves choosing the campuses where
we can make the biggest difference, signing partnership agreements with Hillels and others on
these campuses, developing advocacy plans, providing high level training, conducting Israel
missions, and giving ongoing guidance. While The David Project will continue to support dozens
of campuses around the country, our first 10 Core Campuses are: American University, Boston
University, University of California Irvine, University of Florida, University of Miami, Michigan
State, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Yale University. In three
years, we will be supporting 40 Core Campuses, which we feel will be a critical mass in shifting
opinion in the right direction.
When I was a pro-Israel student leader in the 1980s, there was far less pro-Israel activity than
there is today. The past ten years have produced thousands of new, passionate activists, and
more activity than ever before. But we cannot be satisfied with the level of activity alone. It’s
time to turn the tide in our favor. Rest assured, The David Project will be at the vanguard. Thank
you for your support!
David Bernstein
Kol Hakavod to The David Project staff for all your hard and important work.

Conversation and Collaboration
The Latte Initiative
2011-2012
The 2011-2012 academic year was a transformative year for
The David Project, especially for the campus team, as the new
strategic plan took shape. With the mission of positively shaping
campus discourse on Israel, the team unveiled new educational
programs, partnerships, and initiatives that laid the foundation
for future success.
During the summer Israel on Demand seminars, The David
Project staff introduced the I-Engage advocacy curriculum
designed to help students engage with other student leaders
and create lasting, meaningful relationships. More than 100
students participated in these seminars, which also featured
improv training and notable guest speakers.
Following the success of the revamped summer programs,
The David Project began establishing Core partnerships with
leading colleges and universities around the country. These
partnerships, integral components of the new approach to
campus, allow the organization to work closely with students
and campus professionals in a proactive, strategic manner
capable of driving change. These Core Campuses will continue
to receive significant financial and strategic support, with
students eligible to attend an advanced leadership and
advocacy seminar.
Building on the I-Engage curriculum, The David Project launched
the Latte Initiative in the Fall of 2011 to increase the positive
conversations about Israel taking place on campus. As part of
this initiative, students were encouraged to meet their peers for
coffee and find points of connection that could serve as the basis
for future collaboration. Students across the country demonstrated
how simple conversations could produce sustainable and beneficial
relationships.
Jewish Hearts for Africa at Michigan State
At Michigan State University, Tracey Moskowitz engaged the Black Student Alliance to jointly
host an Israeli speaker on Jewish Hearts for Africa, an Israeli nonprofit that brings sustainable
Israeli technology to African villages. The program attracted students from both the proIsrael community and Black Student Alliance, as well as other university students who had
not previously been involved with Israel on campus. To set up the program, Tracey reached
out to a peer she knew who was involved with the Black Student Alliance. Tracey invited her
friend out for coffee to talk about their shared interests. From this first meeting, both leaders
were able to recognize the similarities between their groups and the benefits of working
together.
Supporting Peace at Rutgers University
The I-Engage methodology was the basic principle behind Rutgers
Hillel’s proactive approach to counter the messages of Israel Apartheid
Week. With training and resources from Rutgers Hillel Center for
Israel Engagement and outside organizations (including a recent Talk
Israel Weekend facilitated by The David Project), student leaders at
Rutgers set out to have one-on-one conversations with hundreds of
students throughout the Rutgers community. One outcome was that
Israel advocates garnered more than 700 student signatures on a
petition for direct negotiations as the way for peace between Israel
and the Palestinians.
The pro-Israel leaders at Rutgers followed up their peace initiative
by organizing a leadership dinner for representatives from more than
40 student organizations on campus. The keynote speaker at the
dinner was U.S. Senator Robert Menendez.
@David_Project teaches people to appreciate Israel, what more needs to be
said. - @haivri
The David Project molds Israel advocates on campus by creating connections in whatever
way is meaningful to them. - Jonathan Lipton (Student at American University)
Advocacy on the Road and Online
An essential piece of the new strategic plan is providing proIsrael students with the information and skills to be more
confident and comfortable making Israel’s case. Though
most of this training traditionally took place in Boston over
the summer, we took our signature programs on the road
reaching students in their respective environments and
creating local networks of advocates.
Regional Conferences
Working with local partners, The David Project took leading roles in regional conferences during
the 2011-12 academic year, while actively supporting other workshops across the United States.
These regional conferences, which took place in California, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Jersey, and
Florida, provided opportunities for students to gain additional knowledge and skills and address
issues unique to their respective communities.
Social Media and Video Advocacy
The David Project puts a major focus on social media and video as a means to reach students. The
creation of a Transforming the Campus video series highlights examples of Israel engagement
and advocacy aimed at elevating campus culture and shifting campus discourse on Israel in
a more positive direction. One student-run organization, Tamid Israel Investment Group, was
featured in a Transforming the Campus video and received The David Project’s inaugural award
for Excellence in Israel Engagement.
This year, The David Project hosted its first two Israel Video Advocacy Seminars, geared towards
students with a background in video production. During the conferences, The David Project’s
educators, as well as video and new media specialists in the field, taught students how to
incorporate Israel messaging and engagement techniques into their online videos, information
on storyboarding and planning videos, and methods of online distribution. Several students
made impressive, quality videos following
the conference. One video, from students
at the University of Illinois at Chicago,
garnered more than 20,000 views online!

videos and student submissions at
youtube.com/TheDavidProject2002.
The David Project gave me the voice I needed to advocate for Israel. Yes, and I love
Israel. - Brooke Weinbaum (Student at Florida Atlantic University)
High School
Students arriving on campus with a greater knowledge
and awareness of Israel can serve as some of the best
advocates. To further that objective, The David Project
expanded its outreach to Jewish day and supplemental
schools across North America.
With two curricula serving as the backbone of these
efforts, The David Project’s staff conducted seminars
and led shabbatonim at a number of schools. These
programs fostered stronger relationships between The
David Project staff and young leaders, while helping
the students gain a deeper appreciation for and
understanding of Israel.
Moving forward, The David Project will continue to
partner with these institutions and educators to improve
Israel education and provide meaningful opportunities
for students to engage with the Jewish state.
@David_Project I love ur work b/c. U r all abt effectiveness not press. And u give
students the right tools to make the case for Israel. - @billgabovitch
Educating Students in Israel
The David Project connects with and
educates American students in Israel,
preparing them to be strong advocates on
campus. This was a remarkable year for
these efforts, as the team reached a record
number of students in diverse programs,
while strengthening relationships with key
partners.
Capturing the Experience

One of the main goals of our educational efforts is to
have students realize the power of their experiences
in Israel. Personal stories are extremely influential
and can help build peer to peer connections.
With sessions focused on personal narrative and
communication, students return to the U.S. capable
of confidently articulating their support for Israel. The
David Project salutes its inaugural class of Israel Fellows. These 22 elite students participated in
skill-building and content sessions and are poised to assume leadership roles on Core Campuses
in the coming years.
Creating the Pipeline
The David Project’s educators reach hundreds of students through year-long courses and multiday seminars in Israel. These students often grow into influential leaders on campus. This past
year, The David Project invested more resources to ensure that they become part of the proIsrael campus network and are prepared to join forces with other active students.

Strengthening Partnerships
The David Project benefits from many partnerships, which generate additional programming
and provide access to groups of diverse students and campus professionals. This past year, The
David Project trained all Jewish Agency adult emissaries on their way to the U.S., with a special
focus on the Hillel Israel Fellows. An expanded relationship with Young Judaea, the largest
gap-year program in Israel, allowed for the first-ever four-day leadership seminar with all Year
Course participants. Other highlights include a fellowship for students at the IDC in Herzliya,
a year-long course at Tel Aviv University in partnership with Hillel, and increasing cooperation
with MASA to help identify and cultivate potential leaders.

2012-2013
With the new strategic plan guiding the organization, 2012-2013 is poised for
great success. We will begin the academic year with ten Core Campuses, with
that number expected to double by the end of the year. This list will feature
prominent colleges and universities where The David Project, student leaders,
and campus professionals can achieve the greatest impact. We will continue to
work with a broader range of campuses across the country as well.
In early 2013, the organization will lead its first ever Israel partners trip, Israel
Uncovered: Campus Leaders Mission. Student leaders from Core Campuses
will be bringing other leaders from their respective campuses on a ten-day
mission to Israel where they will meet with diverse members of Israeli society
while exploring the rich heritage of the country. This experience will serve as
a foundation for future collaboration on campus and the basis for meaningful
relationships.
For the fall semester of 2012, The David Project will be releasing two revised
curricula for Jewish high schools, while further expanding programmatic
offerings. People, Place and Self: The Jewish Connection to Israel and Israel and
the Middle East: The Conflict in Context will provide educators the interactive
platforms to foster meaningful discussions in class while deepening students’
knowledge of complex issues. In early 2013, The David Project will also host
the Be A Voice High School Leadership Seminar near Washington, DC. This
program for select students will develop their leadership skills and enable them
to enhance the Israel-environment at their schools while helping bring Israel to
the forefront of their peers’ minds.
