Regev Ben-David was born and raised in Ramat Raziel, a small moshav near Jerusalem. After a year of voluntary civil service and six years of military service in the Intelligence Corps (ranked Captain), Regev attended Ein Prat Academy and became an active member of its alumni network. After completing his B.A. at Hebrew University in psychology as part of the Amirim honors liberal arts program, Regev received the Tikvah Fund Fellowship 2011-2012, a one year paid fellowship in NYC. Regev currently Directs the alumni activity of Ein Prat in Jerusalem, organized as a community-based beit midrash called Beit Prat. Regev also works for a think tank called Metzilah - Center for Zionist, Jewish, Liberal, and Humanistic Thought as a Program Manager to push for the implementation of civil marriage and divorce in Israel. In addition, Regev is pursuing an M.A. in political science at Bar-Ilan University. Regev participated in the 2011 ROI Summit and several additional ROI programs such as the Magid Project.
Regev is the Director of Beit Prat Jerusalem, Ein Prat Academy’s center of alumni activity. This community-based beit midrash is home to some 200 members – both alumni of Ein Prat, friends of alumni and additional young adults who have joined the group. These members come from a variety of backgrounds on the religious-secular spectrum and together form a colorful and diverse community of young adults, centered around values of learning, celebrating Jewish-Israeli culture (including Shabbat and holidays) and creating a shared and pluralistic environment. The belief is that this kind of activity creates a live model of a healthy way to self-identify as Jews in Israel. The growing interest in the beit midrash indicates how relevant this option is for a new generation of Israelis.
