Biography
Rudy Israel Rochman (Hebrew: רודי ישראל רוכמן; born 6 September 1993) is a Jewish-Israeli rights activist.
Rochman’s maternal grandparents were Sephardic Jews from North Africa and his paternal grandparents were Ashkenazi Jews. According to him, both sides of his family are of the Tribe of Levi. He was born in Paris, France, but moved to Israel when he was three years old. Two years later, his family moved to the United States. In 2000, at the age of seven, Rochman experienced antisemitism after being physically removed from a bus in London, England, for being Jewish; he has described this experience as the origin for his will to defend Jews worldwide.
Rochman served in the Paratroopers Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces from 2011 to 2013. Following his discharge, he attended the University of California, Los Angeles, but later transferred to Columbia University after seeing that it was named the most antisemitic university in North America, hoping to help defend the Jewish people there. He graduated from Columbia University in 2018 with a BA in political science.
