He is a graduate of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) Special Forces, a consultant to defense and intelligence units, published author, religious Jew and family man.

Born and raised in Jerusalem, as the grandson of Holocaust survivors and great grandson of activist with the Agudath Israel movement and deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Dr. Mordechai Buchsbaum. ​ Yair Ansbacher is a trusted voice in Israeli defense, national security, and leadership.
