I love creating custom designed experiences in Israel together with my clients. Everyone visits Israel for different reasons. Why are you coming? What do you want to get out of this trip? What would you like your experience to be? As a rabbi, teacher and educator, with decades of rich experience mentoring groups, individuals and families, I look forward to hearing from you and helping to craft an unforgettable and personally designed experience in Israel.   I specialize in working with individuals, families and communities visiting Israel in order to explore the meaning of this place in their lives. Since taking my first youth group in Israel as a guide in 1980,  I have worked extensively with Jews and Christians, as well as with people of other traditions from all over the world.   Let me know your dreams about your visit to Israel, and I will do my best to help you to fulfill them. I explore Israel with groups, and as a private guide for families and individuals. Be in touch!! I am a licensed Israeli guide for 25 years (Ministry of Tourism license number 5833). I earned BA degrees in Jewish History and Anthropology as well as graduate degrees in Rabbinic Literature and Educational Administration from THE JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF AMERICA and COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. I studied education at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem I received Rabbinical Ordination- from THE JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF AMERICA For lifetime achievement I was awarded DOCTOR OF DIVINITY, honoris causa from THE JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF AMERICA. I recently completed a special course of study to be certified as a Specialist in Guiding Christians in Israel. Over the years (since 1984) I excavated and guided in many archaeological digs around Israel, particularly in Jerusalem. As a veteran immigrant from the US to Israel (having lived both on a kibbutz and in the city), with 4 Israeli children and 5 Israeli grandchildren, I have a unique and amusing view of life in this amazing country. All of the tours I offer are within Jerusalem and are accessible by public transport or on foot. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
