Justin Wolff

After spending six years in Israel, Justin has returned to the United States to attend law school. Justin received his B.A. from UC Berkeley in International Political Economics. Following his graduation in 1998 Justin immigrated to Israel. His first year was spent learning Hebrew, volunteering on a Kibbutz, and preparing for his upcoming army service. In 1999, Justin volunteered for the IDF's elite Paratrooper regiment. Barely half a year after his draft, the present-day violence and terror campaign broke out. For the remainder of his service, Justin's unit was deployed in the West Bank and involved in some of the heaviest fighting in the current conflict. He participated in counter-terrorism operations including urban combat, foot patrols, ambushes, tactical and field intelligence gathering, and other general security operations. Justin guarded numerous checkpoints throughout the West Bank, and has extensive knowledge of IDF protocol and conduct. He also had significant exposure with the local Palestinian population. Since 2001 Justin has served in a reserve armored reconnaissance unit.

Since leaving the active army, Justin has been working in Israel's technology sector as a sales and marketing manager for media technology companies. He has lived in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Over the past several years, Justin has been speaking throughout the United States and Canada on behalf of the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles, The Jewish Agency and other private organizations. Following the completion of his degree, he hopes to return to and live in Israel.
