ABOUT
The Edit is an Israel advocacy dinner series created by Leslie Schapira, Briana Benaron and Anna Schiff. The goal is to create a community of leaders who are willing to take a pro-Israel stand and EDIT the anti-Israel bias. The dinners serve three specific functions: Network; Brainstorm; Activate. By creating meaningful connections, we believe that we can empower one another in our pro-Israel activism and generate ideas about how to best move the needle in this mission. It also serves as a reminder that when we take a stand, we will not be standing alone. Each dinner will offer additional ways for guests to become more involved in this movement.
