His passion being pro-Israel advocacy, Daniel spearheaded several initiatives to promote “hasbara” and combat racism, appearing on radio, television and in print, talking on campuses, and using social media.
Daniel focuses on educating Jewish kids on the importance of the indigenous Jewish people achieving self-determination in their ancestral land.
