Shownotes Transcript

Laureen Lipsky is the CEO and Founder of Taking Back the Narrative, a Zionist education initiative. Her unique background includes a 20-year period of being anti-Israel, influenced by media and certain Jewish organizations using antisemitic language. In 2014, her views shifted after she was shocked by anti-Israel narratives on CNN during the first Hamas war. This sparked her commitment to learning and teaching accurate Jewish history, non-antisemitic terminology, and the importance of Israel as the Jewish homeland. Laureen’s op-eds have appeared in outlets like The Federalist, American Thinker, and JNS. Her organization, Taking Back the Narrative, is the culmination of her work since 2014, and she has been recognized as a leading voice in Zionist education.
