Amy Albertson is a Jewish advocate, educator, and content creator from California who is proudly and loudly uplifting Jewish diversity, reclaiming Zionism and fighting antisemitism through social media content, public speaking, consulting, and more. Her goal is to actively support Jews—wherever they are on their path—to feel a stronger sense of belonging and pride in their Jewish identity.

 

While living in Israel for 6 years, she created "The Asian Israeli," where she cataloged her experiences as a Chinese-American Jewish woman. This exploration of her own identity and relationship with Israel led her to the work she does today.

​

Amy has been an active voice in the Jewish community for over a decade, since her days as the President of Hillel and Co-Founder of the Israel group on campus at Portland State University. After college, she completed an internship in Tel Aviv on a Masa Israel program. In 2015 she made Aliyah, where she dedicated her career to working for Jewish nonprofits.

​

Amy is the recipient of the Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO) Warrior for Israel Award and was named as one of Hadassah Magazine's "18 American Zionist Women You Should Know" in 2023. She has been published in The Times of Israel, Hey Alma, and the Jewish Journal, as well as being featured in the Jerusalem Post, the Algemeiner, JTA and on numerous podcasts. She is also highlighted in the book Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People, by Ben M. Freeman.

​

Currently, she works as a consultant with various Jewish & pro-Israel organizations. She is a member of Israeli President Herzog's inaugural Voice of the People Council. Amy is also an Executive Board Member of Be'Chol Lashon, an Associate with The Tel Aviv Institute, and a member of the Advisory Council of the JCRC Bay Area.
