Social media personality Natalie Dadon participated in the panel "Benjamin - The Beautiful Face of Israeli Hasbara" in New York, where she shared her spiritual strengthening with the audience.
Dadon participated in a panel on behalf of the Council, alongside Binyamin Council Overseas Desk Director Eliana Penstein, Psagot Winery owner and CEO Naama Berg and Ruthi Lieberman, who advises the Council on Israel-US relations.
"I'm excited to be here, it's a great honor for me," Dadon said. "I thank the Binyamin Council for the privilege of representing here the State of Israel and the beautiful region of Binyamin. I fell in love with Benjamin from the first step I took there. I literally cried. I felt that all the answers I was looking for were there. I got so many answers there to the promised land where it all began. I started going there a few times and decided to bring as many people there as possible."

Dadon also shared her personal process of spiritual strengthening. According to her: "The more I study Torah and the more I learn about my identity, the more it makes me want to scream the truth louder and tell it to the world. We are all surrounded by a lot of fake news. I used to know that what they showed me on the news was the truth. But the more responsibility I take for the information I receive, the more I have responsibility for my country. And that's what keeps me going, and as long as I know the truth is with me, that's my mission – to preach the beautiful face of the State of Israel, and it goes through the settlements in Binyamin and Judea and Samaria."
Dadon also addressed her social media activity, using the meba to explain the complexity involved. "When you're authentic on social media, you can't fake it for long," she said. "The web is full of a very fake world, people only show you the good things, vacations and all the beauty of life, but we need to know that there is more and we have a responsibility for how we use these tools."
