Introduction

Rudy Rochman was born in France and grew up moving around the world from Paris, Miami, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Israel, New York and more. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the IDF Paratroopers and served in the 101st Airborne Brigade.


After the army, Rudy chose to pursue his bachelor’s degree at Columbia University since it was then listed as the #1 most antisemitic school in North America.

There, he founded the grassroots pro-Israel movement on campus, which revolutionized campus discourse and quickly became a model for international Jewish rights movements worldwide.

Rudy has a large social media presence with over 600k followers and videos which have racked up millions of views. His work primarily focuses on shifting the global, ideological, and political conversations regarding the Jewish People & Israel, uniting sectors of Israeli society, locating & bringing awareness to the disconnected Tribes of Israel worldwide, and generating innovative ways to combat antisemitism. He even got banned from Malaysia in 2015 for being “too much of a Zionist”.


In 2018, Rudy was chosen for the 36 Under 36 Award of most influential Jews in the world for his dedication and activism. Rudy is also a leader in several grassroots movements which build relations between Israeli & Palestinian leaders to collectively change the systemic flaws and cultural divides that prevent both collectives inhabiting the Land from achieving their aspirations.


In 2020, Rudy completed his MBA in Israel and founded the documentary series “We Were Never Lost”, which highlights the stories of disconnected and unrecognized communities of Jews worldwide. In July of 2021, his team traveled to Nigeria to film an episode of their first season but were kidnapped and held captive under extremely harsh conditions in a Nigerian prison for 3 weeks. Since then, the We Were Never Lost team has traveled to 8 other Africa countries locating such communities and are currently wrapping up the production of the series.

 

On October 7th, 2023, Rudy was called up for war as a reservist in the IDF Paratroopers 55th Brigade and was sent to Kfar Aza to fight Hamas, as one of the first respondents to stop the massacre taking place. Following that, Rudy’s unit was the first team sent into Khan Yunis, Gaza where he served for 2 months until their release in February 2024.

 

Rudy is based in Jerusalem and constantly travels around the world, using his background and expertise to inspire and empower the next generation of Jews to narrate their own story and to write the next chapter of Jewish history.
