Raphael Shore is a Canadian-Israeli film writer, producer, and rabbi. He is the founder of Jerusalem U, a Jewish educational organization, and Clarion Project, whose stated mission is "exposing the dangers of Islamist extremism".
Shore is the twin brother of Ephraim Shore, the former head of HonestReporting and younger brother of television producer and writer David Shore. Shore has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, Ontario.
Shore previously worked for Aish HaTorah, an Orthodox organization devoted to promoting Jewish learning, and has collaborated with its sub-organization, HonestReporting, a pro-Israel media watchdog site run by his brother Ephraim.
In 2010, Shore self-released the documentary film, Crossing the Line: The Intifada Comes to Campus.
Shore wrote and produced the documentary films Relentless: The Struggle for Peace in the Middle East, Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America, and IRANIUM.
Shore's documentary, Obsession, was distributed to 28 million voters throughout the United States during the 2008 United States presidential campaign. Shore has declined to reveal who funded both the production of the film or dissemination of the DVDs.
Shore produced the 2012 documentary Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference, narrated by Tal Ben-Shahar. The film explores dimensions of Israeli history and society that tend not to be addressed in mainstream coverage of the country.
