The Modern Pioneers
About the Program
The modern pioneer is an exclusive 4-month Israel advocacy program. Its aim is to train a team of discharged former lone IDF soldiers with an interest in the fields of media, marketing, political science and give them the most sufficient tools to effectively communicate about Israel and defeat anti-Israel campaigns and anti-Semitism.
Over the course of the program participants will have the opportunity to tour strategic points throughout Israel and its border regions, meet Israeli influencing politicians, journalists and activists from a variety of organizations and institutions. Additionally, participants will receive practical training in effective social media content creation, public speaking, combating fake news and much more.
In the modern world there is an urgent need all around the globe to combat growing antisemitism.
Jews all over the world are being attacked too often. They are being assaulted on the streets just for wearing a star of David necklace. They are under fire with guns and rockets in their homeland. They are being slandered on college campuses, social media, and fake news. The Jewish people, as they have for millenia, are fighting for their right to exist.
The Modern Pioneers is a multinational group of former IDF soldiers who physically protected the state of Israel and are now standing up to protect it virtually.
This program provides the tools to understand the problem of modern antisemitism, to creatively combat it both verbally and behind a screen.
About LSC
The Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin is named in honor of a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice for his faith and the State of Israel. In 2002, Michael left his home near Philadelphia to immigrate to Israel and join the IDF. Four years later he was home on leave visiting his family when war broke out on the northern border. Michael immediately returned to join his unit, the Paratroopers Battalion 890, in Lebanon. Michael fell in battle within 24 hours of returning to Israel and was laid to rest at the Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem.
