Bio
Barak Swarttz is redefining how the world talks about Israel — through basketball, storytelling, and unapologetic truth. A former college athlete turned global content creator, Barak brings a fresh and emotionally intelligent lens to one of the most divisive conversations of our time. Academics and educators have praised him for offering one of the most nuanced perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — balancing clarity, compassion, and lived experience.
Through his fast-growing platform, Barak reaches millions monthly — many of them non-Jews — with content that bridges identity, history, and activism. His signature approach uses basketball as a universal language to spark conversations in spaces where they’re often shut down. From speaking on college campuses to connecting with Christian churches, Barak challenges echo chambers and builds unexpected bridges — not with slogans, but with substance. If you want fresh perspective, real courage, and a message that travels far beyond the choir — Barak Swarttz delivers.
