Be A Mensch Foundation: Empower a Student
The Challenge
Across North American campuses, antisemitism has reached levels unseen in decades.
Jewish and pro-Israel students often face intimidation, distortion, and social isolation.
In an environment where disinformation spreads faster than truth, students need knowledge, courage, and moral clarity to stand firm with confidence and compassion.
Our Response: Extreme Trauma
Extreme Trauma: October 7 as an Outlier in Human Potential is more than a book.
Endorsed by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, it is an educational tool designed to restore perspective, truth, and empathy.
The book equips students with:
- Verified facts about October 7 and its aftermath
- Psychological insight into trauma, resilience, and human response
- Moral framing that cuts through propaganda and polarization
- Stories of courage that inspire unity rather than division
The Student Project
Every copy of Extreme Trauma placed in the hands of a college student is an act of empowerment.
It strengthens moral clarity, fosters resilience, and helps students engage their peers with confidence and credible information.
Our mission is to place 100,000 copies of the book in the hands of students across North America — equipping a generation to speak with both courage and compassion.
How It Works
- You Purchase a Book
Your sponsorship funds a copy of Extreme Trauma for a university student. - We Deliver to Campus
The Be A Mensch Foundation partners with Jewish student organizations, Israel advocacy groups, and faculty allies — to place each book directly into student hands. - Students Create Impact
Each book becomes the foundation for campus discussions, reading circles, and service initiatives led by BAM Student Ambassadors.
The Impact
- Students gain tools to articulate truth in the face of misinformation.
- Faculty and campus allies receive credible, research-based resources.
- Dialogue replaces division, and courage replaces confusion.
Why It Matters
Campus culture shapes tomorrow’s leaders.
When falsehoods go unchallenged, silence becomes complicity.
Your act of sponsorship replaces silence with strength — and gives students the clarity they need to stand tall in turbulent times.
