Powers: A skillful bargainer who often talks his way out of perilous situations, Captain Israel ’s grizzled exterior belies a youthful idealism for making the world a better place. He trains daily at the gym and swears by a balanced diet of salty fish and ritual grape juice. On any given day he can be found providing extra security for Birthright trips, marching in Israel Day parades or speaking on college campuses.

Personality: A reserved guy with a dry sense of humor, he’s a fan of fine single malts and fast machines. He can be charming, earning a slot on a “Top 10 Eligible Bachelors” list in a national tabloid. He can’t resist an opportunity to make impassioned pro-Israel speeches, and his eyes moisten when he hears HaTikvah. He teams up with Beth L to host a community Passover Seder.

Occupation: Captain Israel ’s alter ego as a global communications consultant gives him free rein to travel to all corners of the world to assess Jewish needs. He is the Middle East security expert for a “current events” think tank, and often provides the SuperJews with the intelligence they need to start a mission.
