ABOUT
Rebecca Katz
Founder, Raising Sabras
Hi! I'm Rebecca, proud mom of two boys: Lior (3.5) and Noam (8 months old). Originally from Nice, France, I moved to Israel in 2018 and currently live in Tel Aviv with my husband.
I have over a decade of experience leading Marketing initiatives for tech companies. Throughout my career, I have also organized all sorts of events and workshops for Fortune 500 companies across Europe and APAC, during which I discovered my passion for connecting (with) people through all kinds of experiences.
My heart lies in creating, sharing, and uplifting others through various "passion projects" on top of my work in tech. Raising Sabras is one of them. ✨

About Raising Sabras
MY APPROACH
Raising Sabras was born out of my personal journey into motherhood. After welcoming my second baby in early 2024, I wanted to support my sister, who was expecting her first child just two months later. I started compiling all kinds of lists to ease her transition into parenthood, and soon shared them with international friends in similar situations.
These lists quickly evolved into an Instagram page and a hub of resources for internationals navigating pregnancy and parenting in Israel—something I always wish I had. After a successful launch event during my maternity leave, over 1K members joined the community within 6 months.
In light of the challenges since October 7, helping fellow immigrants embrace the life-changing journey of becoming parents feels even more meaningful. Like many, I've never been prouder to raise my own little sabras in Israel, and I hope that this initiative inspires more immigrants to feel confident raising their kids in Israel.
