Aviva Klompas is the co-founder and CEO of Boundless. She has made a name for herself as an outspoken advocate for the Jewish people and as a leading Israel educator. Before launching Boundless, she served as the Director of Speechwriting for Israel's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York City and as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Ontario government supporting efforts to resettle Syrian refugees in Canada.
A prolific writer, Aviva has written articles that have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Foreign Policy, The Jerusalem Post, and other international publications. She is also the author of two books. Her first, âSpeaking for Israel,â reflects on her time as a speechwriter for Israel and offers an honest and entertaining insight into Israeli diplomacy. Her second book, âStand-Up Nation: Israeli Resilience in the Wake of Disaster,â released in 2024, details Israelâs remarkable and longstanding work in international development. The book builds on Israelâs rich history of international development, and profiles 18 extraordinary Israelis involved in international development work today.
Aviva submitted the bookâs manuscript before October 7th, and since October 7th, sheâs devoted herself to the narrative war on social media and improving Israeli hasbara. Like many of us, sheâs focused on getting the truth out there and telling Israelâs story to the world.
Aviva just started her own podcast called Boundless Insights - with Aviva Klompas in which she dives into the most pressing issues facing Israel and Jewish communities.
Each week, she will be in conversation with Dr. Michael Oren bringing fresh insights and thoughtful analysis to complex issues. You can find her podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. -

Ella Kenan is an Israeli digital marketing professional and content creator specializing in travel. She runs a well known travel blog for Israelis, but since October 7, Ella has been actively engaged online in the information war, focusing on the Israel Gaza conflict and the broader scope of psyops against Israel, involving Iran, Russia, Qatar and other bad actors.
As Ella sees it, these misinformation and disinformation efforts pose a significant threat to life in the West as we know it. She sees Israel serving as the first domino in a much larger global picture, and she fights the good fight every day for Israel and her allies. She's amassed hundreds of millions of views, and in December 2021 Ella, alongside other figures, was given the honor of lighting a torch at Israelâs national Independence Day ceremony by the Israeli Foreign Ministry. The honorees at the ceremony came from various fields where they represented Israel in the world by excelling in their professional arena, alongside activity for Israel's image in the media and on social networks.

Abraham Hamra is that loud and proud Syrian Jew. But you know that already, donât you?
Born in Damascus Syria, he emigrated with his family to the US after 1992 because prior to that Jewish families were not allowed to leave Syria all together.
Abraham has a superpower. Heâs fluent in English, Arabic, and Hebrew. His social media posts in Arabic are impactful and just what the doctor ordered in taking on the lies of radical Islamists and their supporters.
Heâs also a shareholder and the chief growth officer of Cohen Tucker and Ades, PC, a leading national immigration firm.
Since October 7th, Abraham has taken an active role in combating the type of antisemitism we have seen take the United States by storm. When I say Abraham takes an âactiveâ role, I mean in your face, going toe to toe with anti-Israel protesters and the haters.
He also supports victims of antisemitism and makes videos fighting misinformation about Israel and Jews.
You will find him fighting back against Jew haters on social media. He also organized rallies and protests and regularly gives speeches sharing his experience as a Syrian refugee.
Brash, unapologetic, in your face, Abraham challenges the liberal notion that all Jews are white and he celebrates the true diversity of the Jewish People just by speaking up.

As a militant artist of the Paulist scene, she realized several performances in the early 80âs before arriving in France in 1990, where she started an activity as a documentary film and reportage producer.

Like her collection, the artistic creations she supports do not respond to a concern for the market, but to an acute attention to new visions of the world that artists bring.
With her contagious energy and her ability to surround herself with faithful partners and experts, she manages to federate important financial and human resources to carry out artistsâ projects, providing them with visibility and recognition.
In 2018, her commitment was rewarded with the 27th Mont Blanc Prize for Culture Art Patronage. The philanthropist was thus recognized for her work in supporting international artistic exchanges, building bridges between Europe and non-Western countries.
