An Evening with Yoav Bruck

Join us for a special evening with Yoav Bruck, a 3-time Olympic swimmer for Israel (Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 & Sydney 2000) and a visionary businessman in the travel industry. As one of Israel’s premier freestyle sprinters, Bruck made history as the first Israeli swimmer to reach the Olympic finals, representing his country in multiple world championships and European competitions. His dedication and perseverance helped shape the future of Israeli swimming, and today, he continues to mentor younger athletes while advocating for sports development. A proud alumnus of Auburn University’s elite swim program and Tel Aviv University’s MBA program, Bruck now leads Kenes Tours and Issta Sport, creating bespoke travel experiences around the world, from Jewish heritage tours to international sports and music events. His work includes high-end trips, like surfing in Sri Lanka, marathon excursions, and ski adventures. Bruck’s commitment to giving back is equally impressive, as he supports nonprofits like Make-A-Wish, Hagal Sheli, and Shalva. Don’t miss the chance to hear from a true champion, both in and out of the pool!
