StandWithUs has launched a new partnership with ELAL, the national carrier of Israel, and Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The unique program trains top ELAL flight crew in preparation for public diplomacy missions in North America.StandWithUs staff led a 2 day training program at the ELAL headquarters in Ben-Gurion International Airport, for over 60 selected members of the company's aircrew, including 14 senior captains. CEO of ELAL, Major General Eliezer Shkedy (former Commander in Chief of the Israeli Air Force) recognized the major need to educate his staff on public speaking on Israel and message crafting. In order to improve their skills for the unique project which he initiated, Major General Shkedy understood that StandWithUs would play a crucial role. The project, named "Blue and White ELAL Ambassadors", will select aircrew members of ELAL to take part in speaking engagements in communities, beginning in New York, Toronto and Los Angeles. All participants received the flagship StandWithUs educational resource "Israel 101", the "Israel Pocket Facts" booklet and a flash drive with other educational resources. This is a breakthrough partnership between the private sector and StandWithUs in Israel where for the first time, a private company has taken on the responsibility to help fight lies and misinformation that are being spread about Israel. StandWithUs plays a key role in the project and was able not only to train ELAL staff for the mission, but also to raise the profile of the organization in Israel tremendously. ![]() Director of the Israel office of StandWithUs, Michael Dickson, and Director of Israeli Education Department of StandWithUs, Shay Assor with staff of ELAL and the CEO of the company, Major General Eliezer Shkedi (center). ![]() Director of the Israel office of StandWithUs, Michael Dickson, briefs ELAL staff on the work of StandWithUs worldwide. ![]() Director of Israeli Education Department of StandWithUs, Shay Assor, talks about current anti Israel trends and how to fight them. ![]() Maya Epstein of StandWithUs during the breakout sessions, teaching ELAL staff how to craft their personal story into a presentation. ![]() Tanya Stern of StandWithUs during the breakout sessions, teaching ELAL staff how to craft their personal story into a presentation. ![]() Lior Meir of StandWithUs during the breakout sessions, teaching ELAL staff how to craft their personal story into a presentation. ![]() StandWithUs resources that were given to each participant at the training days. |
