Noa Tishby                

Israeli Actress, New York Times Bestselling Author & Activist

Noa Tishby is a two-time New York Times bestselling author and Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism & Delegitimization.

A Tel Aviv native, Tishby served in the Israeli army before landing a starring role on the nation’s highest-rated prime time drama. After becoming a household name in Israel and appearing in numerous TV shows, films, theater productions and fashion campaigns, Tishby moved to Los Angeles, where she sold the Israeli TV show “In Treatment” to HBO, which made history as the first Israeli TV show to become an American series. “In Treatment” was nominated for fourteen Emmy and Golden Globes and won a Peabody Award.

Tishby has been a leader in pro-Israel activism for over a decade, co-founding and initiating several organizations and projects, including Act for Israel, Reality Israel and Eighteen: an institute to combat antisemitism and inspire Jewish pride.

Tishby has been a guest on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and appeared on networks such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox and PBS. She also spoke at the Capitol for a Congressional Hearing on online antisemitism in her capacity as Israel’s first Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism. She also testified in front of the Committee on Ways and Means about the connection between campus antisemitism and terrorism financing, which was the catalyst for the catastrophic hearing of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology presidents and the subsequent resignations of Harvard’s Claudine Gay and Penn’s Liz Magill. Tishby recently addressed members of Congress again in a hearing exposing gender-based violence of the October 7th massacre.
