Dr. Benny A. Benjamin was raised and educated in the U.S. and has been a long-term resident of Jerusalem, Israel. He received his doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Missouri—Kansas City and has taught and trained psychologists and counselors at several U.S. and Israeli universities. He has had a long career as the chief psychologist of the Israel National Employment Service.

Dr. Benjamin is widely published in career and human resource journals and has presented his work at international conferences. He is the editor-in-chief of Israel’s career counseling e-journal in Hebrew (People at Work: Israel Journal of Career Development). In tandem with his professional career, he has studied and taught the Bible in formal and informal frameworks, often incorporating biblically inspired insights as an adjunct to his career clients. You might run into him at table tennis tournaments or hear his clarinet when he is making the rounds with his amateur Balkan and Klezmer music band.
