Join the AFMDA Phoenix Division for an exclusive evening celebrating the lifesaving work of Magen David Adom, featuring special guest speaker Noa Tishby — bestselling author and former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and 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, Ramat Aviv Gimmel. 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 in the US for over a decade, founding and initiating several organizations and projects, including Act for Israel, Reality Israel and Eighteen, an institute to combat antisemitism and inspire Jewish pride. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth, and is among the best known pro-Israel figures on social media, her content reaching millions of people daily across all platforms.
Tishby resides in Los Angeles, and she is the proud Jewish mother to her son Ari.
