Bio
Virag is a distinguished public speaker, international Jewish affairs specialist, and mindful activist. Though not Jewish herself, she has dedicated her career to combating antisemitism and promoting Jewish rights.
Having survived two terrorist attacks in Europe, she brings in an honest and raw view about the danger of jihad.
Virag has served as a diplomat to the European Union during Hungary's presidency and worked at the United Nations through the Touro College Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust. She played a pivotal role in launching the now-prominent movement #EndJewHatred.
Growing up amid antisemitic stereotypes, Virag has been candid about how our environments shape us and the importance of questioning ingrained preconceptions. Her commitment to activism extends beyond personal passion; she holds a second Master's degree in Jewish Studies from Touro University, Manhattan, and has spent the past decade working with various non-profits in the USA, Israel, and Europe on campaigns against antisemitism.
Recently named one of the 18 Prominent Zionist Women in the USA by Hadassah, Virag is a knowledgeable and outspoken critic of the BDS movement, the U.N.'s anti-Israel sentiments, and the manipulation of educational curricula to foster anti-Zionist ideologies.
Currently, Virag leads the JNF-USA Speakers Bureau, and continues to speak to audiences locally and internationally.
