Shalom, my name is Shai, and I help people connect to The Land of Israel using their six senses. So what is the sixth sense, you're asking? Follow me, and I'll help you to find out. . . As a private tour guide, I create tailor-made tours according to the wishes of Jewish and Christian tourists. Special VIP treatment for businessmen coming from abroad. Even a single day can become a great experience. My latest book (2025), 'A Bridge to Your Roots,' connects the Bible to Israel's geography and delves into the social, religious, and historical backdrop of Jesus's time during the late Second Temple period. This isn’t just a travelogue—it’s a spiritual journey. Discover the depths of the Bible by connecting its stories to the geography of the Holy Land in its original setting. Uncover Israel’s rich history and the deeper meanings of biblical words through their Hebrew origins that illuminate the foundational meanings of biblical words. Inspired by Mark Twain’s 1867 journey, this book retraces his footsteps while uncovering hidden gems he missed. I create tour experiences and not merely sightseeing tours. . . Licensed tour guide in English and Hebrew -Incoming Tourism, Pilgrimage, off-the-beaten-path places… VIP special tours with luxury cars.

Shai was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. He guided us for a one full day private tour of Jerusalem, and provided us with an immersive learning experience, as we were able to focus on the Scriptures from a geographic perspective and through the linguistical roots of the names of several places, as they relate to the understanding of the Scriptures. Shai was very...

Shai was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and entertaining on our tour. He was also very patient with our group and flexible in meeting our needs. It was a long, full day but he kept us engaged throughout and we learnt a lot. I would most definitely recommend Shai as a tour guide - thank you again!
