Judith Varnai-Shorer is a retired
Israeli diplomat who was the
consul to Atlanta, Georgia from 2015 until 2019
and
Ambassador to Hungary and
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina ( sh, / , ), abbreviated BiH () or B&H, sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina and Pars pro toto#Geography, often known informally as Bosnia, is a country at the crossroads of Southern Europe, south and southeast Euro ...
from 2000 until 2004.
The Israeli Consulates in the United States were being restructured during her tenure (for example, the office in Philadelphia was closed). She worked to keep the consulates open, in part due to anti-Semitism. Varnai-Shorer’s parents were Holocaust survivors from Hungary and her paternal grandfather changed their name from Weiss before World War I because of the anti-Semitism.
