I'm not sure that's an appropriate theme. Considering the physical environment in which the Israelis live, there doesn't appear to be a lack of courage...thus no need to "restore" courage.
I also think the Israelis are miles ahead of many of our political leaders when it comes to courage.
I listen to his radio show, your mileage may vary but the impression I got was that his idea is to urge Americans to continue to support Israel despite the current US administration’s seemingly more hostile policies. He’s not saying “Israel, you need to be braver” by any means according to what I have heard on the radio. Quite the opposite, really.

It’s not Isreal that needs the courage, it’s our leaders that fail to recognize that Isreal is the one democracy in the Middle East which we can count on. We have to find the courage to back them up when they need us.
I think he meant Restoring Courage for those who stand with Israel.
dubbed Restoring CourageGlenn Beck has said what you just said many times, you just haven't listened. This is not about restoring Israel's courage, it's about restoring

If you listened to Beck’s show you would know that Restoring Courage is about restoring OUR courage and the courage of THE REST OF THE WORLD to stand up for Israel and goodness. He clearly stated numerous times that Israelis live a life of courage every single day.
“I also think the Israelis are miles ahead of many of our political leaders when it comes to courage.”
I think that’s the point - while it’s partly meant to reinforce the Israelis’ courage by showing them what tremendous support they have from Americans (though not this president or his buddies), I believe the main purpose is to restore OUR courage - all the Americans and those of our leaders who feel affinity for Israel but may hesitate to take a stand or voice it publicly for fear of negative reactions or consequences, because this anti-semitic climate will get worse, at least for a time.
So, GB’s event is really as much a pep rally for right-minded America as it is for Israel. IMHO
