What Parents Say About Shilton Betar - Media
“I came to Betar Media wanting to learn how to tell Israel's story and left with real media production skills and a Zionist intellectual foundation I hadn't had before. The studio in Jerusalem, the lecture series, living with other young Jews who care about advocacy — six months of serious work. Israel Prepaid Bronze Plan covered it completely.”
“Shilton Betar Media gave me tools I use every week — video editing, podcast production, how to frame Israel's story for Western audiences. The Zionist education was just as important. I know the ideology now, not just the talking points. My parents started the Bronze Plan when I was in middle school and it was ready when I needed it.”
