PAUSHALI LASS

Israel Strategy, Cultural Diplomacy & Advisory Consultant | Bridging India, Germany & Israel.

I am a Destination Consultant, primarily for Israel, writer, and educator specializing in geopolitical consulting and Israel advocacy. Originally from India and based in Germany, I offer an informed and ethical perspective on Israeli society, geopolitics, and the Israel Defense Forces.

As an invited international speaker, I engage and inspire Jewish communities worldwide and connect global thought leaders and international leaders with Israel, including facilitating high-level engagement with Members of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset). I serve as an Ambassador of Israeli Innovations through SKIES Israel, an initiative supported by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I write opinion and analysis pieces for The Jerusalem Post and The Times of Israel. I am the Co-founder of J Expo – Expo of the Jewish People, a pioneering global platform celebrating Jewish cultures worldwide, and the author of Tasting Faith, which preserves the culinary heritage and stories of India’s Jewish communities.

More about me…

I am an Indian-German educator (writer and speaker), truth advocate standing up for Israel, and mother of five based in Düsseldorf, Germany.

My focus is on bridging cultures, people, and faiths through intercultural training, mentoring, research and advocacy.

I am passionate about sharing the light of the Jewish people, especially sharing the stories of the lesser known communities, such as the Jews of India. I am the author of Tasting Faith, which I have written together with Ann Samson.

I am also engaged in food diplomacy through  The Mustard Table, a culinary culture and events brand promoting understanding through food.

I plan special, custom/made education tours to Israel, partnering with Israel Destination, a company that offers custom travel packages and also leads high-level solidarity missions and dignitaries to Israel.

I live in Düsseldorf, Germany with my husband and five children.
