Effectively counter public misrepresentation and demonization of Israel

StandWithUs Northwest Welcomes

Ran Bar-Yoshafat

2012 StandWithUs Shaliach

Ran Bar-Yoshafat is StandWithUs Northwest’s 2012 Shaliach (Israeli representative). He will be working with us in the Seattle area until June 2012, talking and teaching about Israel, providing forums for dialogue, presenting an Israeli’s perspective on his country and the Mideast conflict. He is available for classroom presentations, seminars, and discussions for groups of any size.

The former Israeli national champion for mixed martial arts and a trained lawyer, Ran has a wide range of experience and a passion for education and advocacy. He served in an elite Special Forces unit of the IDF during the 2nd Intifada (a period of intense terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians), worked as an attorney for a number of committees in the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament), and has organized and led volunteer activities involving from 10 to 1,000 participants. His volunteer initiatives have included outreach with disabled children, environmental cleanup projects, and renovating low-income housing.
