Leading up to Yom Ha’atzmaut on May 10, the Jewish Community Relations Council is asking the community to create an online video that answers one of three questions: Why do I support Israel? How do I support Israel? How can we advocate for Israel? Finished videos should be uploaded to youtube.com then the link should be emailed to [email protected] with contestants’ name(s) and phone numbers. Videos will be posted to JCRC’s Facebook wall.

The winner will be decided by a combination of the number of “likes” a video receives, the number of comments, as well as input from a panel of judges who will be looking for the best message expressed in the most creative way. The winner will receive $100. Videos are to be submitted by May 9 and the winner will be announced May 13. To view a flyer about the contest, visit http://bit.ly/dPoWL7.
