Yitzhak Santis, Chief Programs OfficerYitzhak Santis is the immediate past Director of the Middle East Project at the San Francisco Jewish Community Relations Council. He served on JCRC’s staff for 21 years until he and his family made aliyah in January 2011. After the second intifada, with the explosion of anti-Israel activity in the San Francisco Bay Area, Yitzhak founded and directed JCRC’s Middle East Project, created to combat the intense anti-Israel activism in the San Francisco Bay Area, the most challenging environment in the United States with respect to attitudes toward Israel. A core component of this project was to understand and analyze the attempts to delegitimize Israel and formulate a strategy for countering these efforts by the one hundred or so groups promoting an anti-Israel message. In this capacity, he shaped the local Jewish community’s strategic approach to Israel education and advocacy. He served as lead spokesperson to the general and Jewish media for the Bay Area’s organized Jewish community, making numerous TV and radio appearances including nose-to-nose debates with Israel’s detractors. He is a prolific writer, published in major publications in the US and Israel. He has presented to hundreds of audiences including synagogues, churches, public and private schools, campuses, and created multi-media materials used in his advocacy work. His impact was also felt across the United States with JCRCs and other organizations looking for his guidance on issues pertaining to Israel advocacy. In his early career he was a regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, and as a student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he was a pro-Israel campus activist. |
