Name: Shani Weiss
Year: Freshman
Position Desired: Israel Chair
Candidate Bio: Please share a little bit about yourself:
I am a freshman at Drexel. I have attended Jewish school all my life until I entered college. I have a strong connection to Judasim and Israel and would like to utilize that passion in doing something beneficial.
What do you hope to achieve in this position?:
I hope to make students more aware of the situation in Israel. However, I also hope to show them the great side of Israel- not only the side dealing with conflict-- the side that they are most often bombarded with. Fundraising on behalf of Israel is ideal as well. Over all I would like to get the Drexel Community more involved and "Israel active."
What experiences and qualifications do you have for this position?:
I have been to Israel 3 times the most recent time being a little over two weeks ago. I went on the Hasbara Fellowship program through Aish which is specifically geared towards teaching college students how to advocate on behalf of Israel on their college campuses. I also like to view myself as pretty knowledgable concerning the Middle East conflict.
What other responsibilities do you have and how much time can you allot to Hillel/JSA responsibilities?:
I am a student ambassador for Drexel. I also work. However, because I am passionate about Israel, I think I would be able to and willing to devote a decent amount of time to this position.
Anything else you would like people to know about you?:
I am responsible and I love Israel.
Are you the candidate listed above?: Yes
Have you read the candidate contract?: Yes
