He is a leading presenter on the Birthright program as well as partnering with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Jewish Agency for Israel in a project aimed at increasing the ability of students to engage in hasbara.[3] Lazarus said that "hasbara is not just the role of government spokespeople. It's the role of the Jewish people."[3][4][5][6]
