The Global Speakers Bureau (GSB), a collaboration between Jewish National Fund-USA and World Jewish Congress (WJC), aims to be the go-to source to find speakers for all things Jewish. GSB boasts a roster of over 50 speakers on matters related to Israel and the Middle East, Zionism, and antisemitism, among others.

 “Speakers are selected based on how well their expertise matches the needs of the event,” said Virág Gulyás, who heads the bureau. “My job is making that fit.”

 Aviva Klompas, a GSB speaker and founder of Boundless Israel, understands the importance of reaching different audiences—both in person and online. Boundless does in-depth research on the root causes of major societal issues and recommends ways to mitigate the harms of online Jew-hatred. “I post on social media because we have to spread the truth,” said Aviva, who has 320,000 followers on Twitter/X. “I will often see an antisemitic post that is totally false and I feel compelled to counter it with my own post.” Aviva says that she founded Boundless to revitalize Israel education and combat antisemitism. “It’s tough out there. This is why our mission is so important. We need to educate people.”
