Yishai Fleisher
Yishai Fleisher (Hebrew: ישי פליישר; born 1976) serves as the international spokesperson for the Jewish Community of Hebron. He is a podcast host, pro-Israel advocate and political advisor. Fleisher speaks English, Hebrew and Russian and has been described as "a go-to Israel expert for international media."
Yishai Fleisher was born in 1976 in Haifa, Israel, to Jewish refuseniks from the Soviet Union. The family emigrated to the US when he was eight. Fleisher returned to Israel and served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces and was injured in Lebanon during his military service in 1997. Fleisher returned to the US where he completed an undergraduate degree in political science at Yeshiva University, then a Juris Doctor at the Cardozo School of Law. He received his rabbinic ordination from Kollel Agudath Achim.
While in law school in 1999, Fleisher co-founded the organization Kumah which advocates for aliyah and encourages Jewish students to move to Israel. The group's tag line was "Arise! Americans Return to Zion" and took its name from a verse in the Book of Jeremiah. The group engaged in seminars, weekend retreats, birthright trips and created unique and creative posters and videos.
After graduating, Fleisher was recruited to Arutz Sheva – Israel National Radio / Israel National News in 2003 and became Director of Programming for the English department. He co-hosted the Aliyah Show and the Yishai Fleisher Show, frequently doing live remote broadcasts and special events. During his seven years at the station, he grew the department during the early days of podcasts and mp3 downloads, organized tours and seminars and interviewed top name Israeli and international celebrities, politicians and newsmakers.
He co-created Free Your Mind: The Aliyah Revolution, an animated short film based on The Matrix promoting aliyah to American Jews and produced The Aliyah Revolution, a compilation album of popular modern Jewish-Israeli musicians.
In 2011, Fleisher continued his broadcasting at Galey Yisrael Radio which at the time was the only English language talk show on broadcast Israeli radio. From 2014 – 2015 was Director of Programming at the popular but short-lived Voice of Israel Jerusalem-based broadcast network.
His Yishai Fleisher Show continues on The Land of Israel Network and on his personal website, YishaiFleisher.com. He regularly hosts live streaming videos and discusses news, politics, and Torah combine with interviews.
In 2006 he ran for Knesset with the Atid Ehad party led by Dr. Avraham Neguisse, an activist for Ethiopian Israelis, and Yechezkel Stelzer, an Argentinian-born rabbi. The party advocated support for new immigrants.
