Rudy Rochman is Israel rights activist, speaker and content creator dedicated to strengthening Jewish identity, combating antisemitism and advancing understanding of Israel and the Jewish people.
Born in Paris, France, Rochman moved to Israel at age three. His commitment to Jewish advocacy was shaped by an antisemitic incident at age seven, when he was physically removed from a bus in London for being Jewish. He later served in the IDF’s Paratroopers Brigade from 2011 to 2013.
After studying at UCLA, Rochman transferred to Columbia University, where he founded and led the university’s Students Supporting Israel chapter. He has since become a prominent voice for Israel and Jewish rights, speaking at campuses and pro-Israel organizations and using social media to reach hundreds of thousands of followers.
His work focuses on combating antisemitism, strengthening Jewish unity, engaging diverse Israeli communities, and raising awareness of Jewish communities around the world. Rochman has also been involved in Zionist and philanthropic initiatives, including running in the 2020 World Zionist Congress elections and serving on the board of The Israel Innovation Fund.
