About Me
Although originally from Israel (about 4000 years ago 😊), I was born in the brier patch of North Carolina, immigrated as a child, and now, once again, Israel is my home.
I love facilitating the interaction between others and the living land of Israel, enabling them to develop a personal and meaningful "Israel relationship."
Thus, since 1995, I have been immersed in Jewish, Zionist and Israel education, in Israel and abroad, with groups of varied ages and backgrounds.
​
I believe that the ultimate factor in guiding and tour education is relating the historical narrative to your modern personal life, thus creating an experience even more meaningful and memorable.
My role as a tour educator is a true privilege, and a unique way to enhance joy and meaning in people's lives.
​
I hold a B.A. in Israel Studies, a teaching degree, and a tour-guide license by the Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Education.
I live near Jerusalem with my wife, Chana, and our six children, and enjoy off-road biking in my spare time.
