Join us for a transformative Pride Shabbat as Beth El proudly welcomes Yuval David—an internationally acclaimed Israeli-American actor, filmmaker, journalist, and human rights activist, whose voice is as powerful as it is joyful, as passionate as it is purposeful.
Yuval is a dynamic force across multiple arenas: media, advocacy, and cultural diplomacy. As a speaker, he is motivational, inspiring, activating, informative, captivating, and entertaining—bringing clarity and courage to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Whether in front of a camera, behind a podium, or leading global conversations, he stands out as one of today’s most impactful voices for Jewish identity, Zionist pride, LGBTQ+ rights, and socio-political engagement.
A fierce advocate and strategic advisor, Yuval consults for dozens of government agencies, NGOs, elected officials, and community leaders, helping shape policy, media strategy, and advocacy campaigns. He serves as a Council Member of “Voice of the People” with Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, and is an official Delegate to the World Zionist Congress, representing Kol Israel.
Yuval’s creative and journalistic work has been featured on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NewsNation, Fox, Sky, i24, Kan, Keshet, and more. His bylines appear in The Hill, The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, Algemeiner, New York Post, Jewish Journal, Out Magazine, The Washington Blade, Queerty, and others. His original films and videos go viral for good reason—his content educates, entertains, and electrifies audiences across the world.
“The greatest resistance to antisemitism is Jewish joy and Jewish power, rooted in Jewish education. Not power as domination, but power as presence. Power as permanence. Power as pride. Power as knowledge.”
— Yuval David, The Algemeiner
Yuval was honored as the #1 Most Influential Young Zionist by The Jerusalem Post and JNF, and recently recognized by the ADL as a “Hero Against Hate.”
At Beth El, Yuval will share his message of resilience, pride, and radical authenticity through a drash during the Main Shabbat Service, followed by an open community discussion and Q&A at 12:30 pm in the Swoff Chapel. During the service, we will also recognize our LGBTQ+ members, family, and friends with a group aliyah to the Torah.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the most important and inspiring voices of our generation.
