A
few years ago, the founder of a school that trains law enforcement agencies how
to combat terrorism read about Lev LaLev on an online news
site. He was so moved by the plight of the girls at the Rubin-Zeffren
Children’s Home in Netanya that he began to donate funds to benefit the needy
and forlorn orphaned girls who live in the country of his birth, Israel.
Besides
helping our girls in Netanya, Doron Benbenisty, 44, who operates and is the CEO
of CRI - Counter Terrorism Training School, Inc., based in
Las Vegas, Nevada, also supports two Latin American orphans. With his charming
Israeli accent, he tells LLL that he feels connected “big time” to helping
orphans (and widows) as noted in the scriptures.
Doron,
who is the quintessential image of someone who served in the Israeli Air Force
Special Forces Division and whose rank was Sergeant Major,
trains all levels of law enforcement agency personnel including special forces
in the U.S. Military, SWAT teams, police officers, undercover agents, employees
of various branches of government including the intelligence community as well
as civilians.
A
U.S. resident for 13 years, Doron is the father of two daughters,
Adirel, 5 and the newborn Helena. Talking to this soft-spoken but confident
gentleman, one would not fathom his profession. He teaches seminars on how to
survive an active shooter massacre, home invasions, and other disasters that
have unfortunately befallen our nation. He has created modules that reach out
and teach everyday people how to defend themselves against such heinous crimes
that are prevalent in national and world news.
Doron Benbenisty shares with LLL some survival skill
information that he has been hired to train personnel that include many of the
Fortune 500 companies in this country. He coaches people on how to hide, how to
run, and how to fight.
In
his seminars, people learn solutions to various types of vulnerabilities in
criminal attacks including armed robberies in stores,
parking lots or garages around owner and employee vehicles, and home invasions.
Doron offers unique knowledge on how to deter criminals by first detecting
them, and then deceiving them, and finally how to respond to them.
Doron
Benbenisty‘s background in counter terrorism began with his service in the
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). He then entered the Israeli Special
Forces and was deployed in a division that infiltrates enemy territories in
order to gather intelligence and eliminate security risks. During his stint, he
became a Counter Terrorism Instructor and successfully created and implemented
an entirely new type of program: Israel’s first Counter Suicide Bomber Program.
This program was adopted by all branches of the IDF, has greatly reduced
fatalities, and is still in use today.
For
13 years now, Doron uses his expertise in counter terrorism, transportation
security-public, private, ground, aviation, and locomotive, self-defense,
executive protection, and personal security, whereby creating CRI and its
vocational programs. He authored numerous articles in varied publications as
well as his own company’s tactical magazine and a number of books covering a
myriad of violence prevention topics.
Since
Doron is an expert in counter terrorism, he has been interviewed on many
TV/radio shows including NPR, CBS, FOX and ABC as
well as the Las Vegas Review Journal. G4 TV has called upon Doron to
demonstrate his expertise in personal protection, counter terrorism, and
weapons safety in a series of eleven segments.
More
about Doron Benbenisty:
He attended elementary school and the Gymnasia high school in Rishon L’Zion, then was accepted to the Air
Force Boarding School in Haifa, where he achieved the status of ‘top of the
class.’ Doron also studied psychotherapy.
When
Doron was in his early 20s, he implemented a pet rescue operation for dogs and
cats. By the time he reached 30, he volunteered for WIZO (Women’s
International Zionist Organization) in Holon, Israel, facilitating a support
group for terminally ill patients, widows/widowers, parents of “at risk” teens
with addiction issues, and holocaust survivors. Over his three years of
volunteering, this group he counseled fluctuated from between 20 to 40
participants. His talks were on “How to
Bring Happiness into Your Life” – helping people who have no hope believe in
themselves and miracles. Eventually, Doron was cajoled to speaking about body
language, channeling information, “vibrating energy”.
Attributing
his success to his good parents, fine instructors,
and dedicated people in his life, Doron says he never took any of his G-d given
gifts for granted. His familial heritage dates back to Morocco (Marrakech) on
his father’s side, and Tunisia on his mother’s.
Current
project:
Besides
finding solutions to impossible problems, Doron says that he is plagued by the
unemployment situation. He believes that vocational schools
are the answer and has filed for a license, with approval of the Veterans’
Administration and the G.I. Bill, to open vocational schools in Nevada.
Lev LaLev is thankful to Doron for his
unwavering support and wishes him continued success in all his lofty endeavors.
May he go from strength to strength in his remarkable life saving efforts.
