- Rudy Israel Rochman, born on September 6, 1993, is a notable Jewish-Israeli rights activist recognized for his dedication to enhancing Jewish identity, combating anti-Semitism, and fostering collective unity within Israel.
Rochman's military service in the Israel Defense Forces includes roles in the 98th Paratroopers Division, the 35th Paratroopers Brigade, and the 55th Paratroopers Brigade. He has participated in several key conflicts, such as the Gaza-Israel conflict, the 2012 Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, and the 2023 Israel-Hamas war.
His activism has not been without peril; Rochman was kidnapped in Nigeria during his quest to connect with the lost tribes of the Jewish people. His escape and survival are considered remarkable.
Our conversation with Rudy Rochman delves into his passionate efforts to fight anti-Semitism globally and on campuses, his experiences in Gaza, and his dedicated pursuit of identifying and supporting lost Jewish communities worldwide.

Rudy's story is so inspiring & such a metaphor. Just as 3 Jews found a lone, sympathetic Christian "friend" while falsely imprisoned in Nigeria, the Christians stand as the lone allies of the Jews in this battle of Good vs Evil. Though we have different beliefs, what unites us is most important in the dark times ahead when enemies surround. We are with you. May God bless you all, Israel, the IDF, US Troops & may He save America.
Yes, very inspiring! I'm still in the process of listening 🕍 🇮🇱 🕎
Amen 🙏
If you TRULY, Love the Prince of Peace you will Love and Support HIS PEOPLE, the Jews. It's as simple as that. Plus, Jews can easily, explain why we have different beliefs, but most Christians refuse to listen. My Best. Out.
Heartbreaking how the world has treated the Jewish people.
It's rooted in the spiritual battle taking place in the heavens.
The real people who are suffering are the Palestinians. How many genocides have they suffered from and still !
There's a reason why they were treated as such.

Thank you for such an informative, incredibly moving post. I am a Catholic living in France. Have learnt so much about what it is to be a Jew. I don't understand why you are so persecuted. God willing the hostages will be released very soon and return to their loving families. ❤🇮🇱

Wow! Rudy Rochman is a true hero for Am Yisrael. His project to document the "lost tribes" of Israel is fascinating (they were always there!). I would love to hear more about it. His work on college campuses is absolutely needed. I went to the OU website and signed the letter for the Living Lchaim team. I sure hope we get the support we need.
Link?
Also where to view the documentary?
Peace and blessings ❤
Greetings from the Lemba community in Harare, wonderful always lovely to hear from Rudy. שבוע טוב
Nice that you have internet access.
❤️
The sheer resilience and strenght of the soul that is rooted in a great love for God, people and life in general is something that amazes me in Jewish people.
I'm not Jewish, I am not a member of any religion...but if I was to choose who I belong to, spiritually and in general, it would be Judaism.
I love you people!
Am Yisrael Chai ❤🇮🇱
Please join us and become a Jew. 💙❤️💙 If you can see the truth and light you can live it. 🕯️
@@brigitte9999 I agree with the comment, same for me. Thanks for being so welcoming 💙🇮🇱💙 As an atheist I also like Buddhism and Judaism makes the most sense to me. I read reform synagogues are a good starting point. I'd like to adapt the customs and Jewish holidays but it would be a huge switch to go to a synagogue and pray regularly, not sure if I could keep up with it always, when I'm introverted and too busy. But it seems like the kind of people I'd prefer most.
@@brigitte9999how to become a Jew? I've been having dreams about this lately and I feel gd is calling me to learn the ways of Jewish people. I am really wanting to learn as much as I can. Thank you for any advice on this topic. Blessings ❤
Go to an orthodox Christian church.
Wow! I fell in love with Rudy Rockman -- such a beautiful person. He's brilliant, and I could not debate him, but I can and shall pray for him, for his safety especially in his IDF duty, for his health, for his beautiful spirit. Wow! I know I shall never meet him, but I shall be praying for him.
Had the blessing to meet Rudy in person a few weeks ago, he is truly a leader of our generation
That was a fantastic interview. Thank you, both. I do believe that Rudy is spot-on about how Amalek-type anti-Semites differ from the rest.
Guys keep praying for the hostages 🙏🏼❤. God will bring the hostages back home safley in his name, Amen 🇮🇱🤲🏼.
Amen! I believe it too! ❤
Sept 7 is when she was admitted. 9/10 is when she was reported in the closet (grandfather Z) and 9/11/23 is when her X came and said, "You just have to call the previous property owner." THE PREVIOUS OWNER CALLS ME. IF HE KNEW THEM, HE WOULD KNOW THAT. Her name is Samantha Baumgartener born Jan/1994. This information is pieced together from understanding the Bible and EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING NOW. I'm Janeen Stratton, her half sister. Whoever has her is the antichrist and WHERE ARE YOU JESUS CHRIST?!?!?!?!
Amen
Myself, and my church, continue to pray for Israel and the hostages. Our pastor sent 2 emails this week as we are praying and fasting, and listed the names of all the hostages so may view and pray for the hostages seeing their names.
@@musclechic2001 oh wow, thats sad 😔
Love this
A proud and strong Jew who understands his mission and has the faith and courage to act on it
I'm only twenty minutes or so into this podcast, but I already see in Rudy Israel a hidden tzaddik of a person.
His varies family religious background that helped mold him into who he is today, has made him into this most remarkable man that his today!
Amazing, Awesome, Brave and Courageous Man!
Blessings, love and prayers for all, from Israel 🇮🇱. Peace for all on this Earth and in this World!

Rudy is a hero for our people 🙏❤️🇮🇱
Excellent and inspiring interview!!
One comment though: True Christians do not “blame” Jews for killing Jesus. The New Testament teaches that Jesus laid down his life on his own initiative, no one took it from him.
Though I have Ashkenazi DNA I do believe Jesus is the Messiah and he will soon come to finally complete the fulfillment of prophecy.
❤🇮🇱🙏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼
Amen 🙏🙌 so true !!
Amen!
Brilliant interview. I learnt so much and took so much away from this discussion with Rudy - thank you. God bless Israel, the IDF and their families, the beloved hostages - bring them home soon. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the State of Israel ♥✡✝
The emptiness of our souls is Not locating our brothers but in recognizing the Our mashiach came 2000 yrs. ago and that He's coming Again...SOON. We must be ready for His return!
You are a very talented person. I love you, I love the jews, I love Israel! Praying for Israel, the IDF, the hostages❤🙏🇮🇱❤️
Real christians dont "blame" the jews for kills Jesus. Maybe people use it as an antisemitic term. But people who accepted Jesus as their Messiah and are ACTUALLY following Him believe that He died for our sin and for the sin of the whole world so we have everlasting life. And only through Christ we are saved and have access to God. The real Christians around the world stand with Israel! Pray for Israel! And love Israel!❤
Why are real Christians something new? Why did Christianity throughout the ages teach that the Jews killed Jesus and deserve misery and suffering?
Definitely an interesting take on Isaiah 53
But he is correct because Jesus is returning as the Christ on White Horse to claim His people…
The messiah,Jesus, said he would be back. So all the world needs to be ready. And Jews do have a special place here ….as Rudy said…. A responsibility to spread light.
Christians ,also ,as followers of this Jewish man named Jesus, need to be lights in the darkness!!!!!🥰
Isn’t the world fascinating and so complex?
I admire and long for the same connection that Jewish people have as a community.
I would do well as a Jew. I love and nurture my family and wish we were part of a community that stands up for something good.
WOW AMAZING! Rudy is a true Gebor Chayil!
WOWWWW!!!!!! I’d love to watch the ‘other’ conversation Rudy mentioned. This was fascinating! ❤❤❤
Rudy for President of Israel!
What an amazing story. Rudy is a true mensch and representative of Israel. I am in awe, totally inspired. Thank you for this interview.
Wow what a beautiful Neshama! Rudy is a real star! May you continue effecting positive change to this world! The world is lucky to have u! Excellent interview!
This is crazy.
So the very abridged version would mean he's aproximately....Sephardi/Chassidish😉He's amazing, i've watched dozens of his videos and wherever he comes from, the recipe was great.He's clearly taken the best from each.Impressive knowledge and diplomacy ❤️🇮🇱✌️
Very eye oprning and passionate interview - i love how you explained the Issac Ishmael conflict - there was so much empathy in that - just by sharing this you already made tikkun ! ❤

I hope you are staying safe and healthy. Thank you for your support. Please be careful.
WOW. Another fascinating interview. Thank you.
It's awesome that the Tri State Jewish community is now being made aware of all of our lost brothers and sisters in Africa. Let's get them all to Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Wow this blows my mind.
How awful and unfair is the world to the Jews.

Rudy is a gift to this world
Rudy's story is beautiful! It is impressive his awareness of Hashem's presence. Indeed, it is Hashem who saved him and Andrew.
Praise be God. Praying for the remaining hostages in Gaza. May Hashem protect them.
Wow! He has so much depth!
I learned early to "speak softly, and carry a big stick." I started learning martial arts with a focus on self-defense combatives, early on. Diplomacy is important, activism is critical, but the bottom line is this: we don't negotiate for peace or mercy from a position of weakness, with a boot on our throat. At the most basic level, we must learn how to put up a good physical fight. If we lose, at least we take piece of them with us, and they think twice before bullying a Jew. They don't get to walk away unscathed.
Todah Rabah ❤
Stand strong Israel - you have many supporters ♥✡✝

Thank you so much, cross stitch is a very popular craft here too and I am glad to hear you enjoy it as much as I do. So relaxing don't you think. You do, however, need the correct equipment if you are going to make a success of it and have a nice finished product to put on your wall. I would recommend, as a beginner, starting with a simple kit - they are widely available and at a very reasonable cost. Thanks again, happy stitching ! ♥@@user-ss5yd3fe4l

When I watched many of Rudi's TH-cam videos, often extended sound bytes, I found them irritating. However, listening to this long explanation, I have come to a better understanding and appreciation of his ideas and reason for his activism.
Wow. I was capture by this video ,thank you for this interview. Blown away by the concept that our soul choose the challenge before were born. This deserves a second and third watch.
WOW! WOW! WOW!!! I have never identified more with another Jew than with Rudy. I always feel so lost when asked where are your people from because we have literally been all over the world but we don’t belong to any of those places. Baruch HaShem and Thank you for sharing, Rudy. ❤ 🇮🇱
Wow!!!! All of your episodes are incredible, but this one really blew me away!!
Thank you for this amazing episode! So touching!
Sorry Rudy you had to go through so much. It is true that Christians and Jews are suffering greatly in this day and age but I am a true believer of Jesus Christ, there are many like me, and I stand with Israel. True Christians should never blame Jews for killing Jesus. Jesus gave His life for you and me so His blood could do atonement for our sins. I love Jews greatly. I would give my life for God’s beloved people. Israel belongs to the Jews rightfully. The land is their legitimate inheritance. God Almighty will NEVER forsake Israel. Shalom. God bless you. Patricia

Amazing person . Shedding Perfect Clarity on Being Jewish . I through a guy out of my house for saying I was an American , first . Perfectly Antisemite , UN known to Him . I remember how shook And Angry I was ! We are So Different . Period.
At 1:07:26 In other words EDUCATION. Children are NOT born hating other people; they are TAUGHT, as Rudy observed.
I have contacted at least half a dozen organizations to assist in setting up a Montessori toddler and preschool in Gaza once the fighting has stopped, but none have responded, so far.
I am a recently retired Montessori teacher. Montessori's approach to education is precisely to promote PEACE.
My suggestion to go into Gaza and offer Montessori education is to HELP Israel; you need neighbours who are not hellbent on destroying you but you have to start at the beginning....
Are there any other Montessori trained people out there who are willing to give it a go?
Everything starts and end with good education that teaches you to be a good and decent person
I listened and believed his words and experiences that positively shaped his life.!
This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Rudy - amazing in all ways, full of wisdom, humor, bravery, and intelligence. This encapsulates the Jewish collective perfectly.
as Christian arab full support to Israel 🇮🇱 and the jews against the Islamic terrorism
”But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.“
Micah 5:2 KJV. So happy for him Amazing blessing.
Wow, what an incredible story and viewpoint!
Wow. Really inspiring!
Rudy Israel. The young man being interviewed summed it up well. What makes a Jew a Jew? I cringed when he recounted that while in London with his Mom, she was forced to get off the 🚌 by an anti semetic bus driver. That was the crime! Why wasn't there a lawsuit? The biggest reason 4the hostility and disdain against the Jew is of a supernatural nature. Nothing can truly explain it. It is incomprehensible.
The one thing that makes sense is the reality of a dark realm at work. An adversary who
bewitches the hearts of men. The sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have been pursued for thousands of years. Yah watches all and identifies His people. I trust that in due time, He will bring judgment against the wicked and restoration for those who seek goodness and peace. I don't know whether this wave of anti semitism will cease, but it sure is unsettling to watch. My prayers are with you. One day, Judah and the rest of Israel will live in peace under the reign of Messiah.
Wow, I do agree with Rudy's assessments and I especially appreciate his desire to be a peacemaker and help bring back the scattered Neshamas of Israel to the Jewish people! Chag Sameach!❤
The main reason for antisemitism is JUST like Rudy explained. It is a spiritual slap to us Jews for not living up to our role/ mission/ duty and job: to enlighten the world with G-d's Light in the Torah....
I totally understand my family is a Mexican Jewish Saphaderic background living in the USA
Baruch HaShem & Shalom Shalom Israel!!! 🙏🇮🇱❤️🇺🇸🇮🇱🙏
Wow, what a deep inspiration you are. Your faith is so powerful ❤
