As a tour guide licensed by the Israeli ministry of tourism I get to indulge my enthusiasm and passion for the Land of Israel, and I'd like to share that passion with you. Originally from the United States, I've lived most of my adult life in Israel - this is my home; I'm proud of it and I'd like to show it to you. My previous career - 20 years as a police officer in the investigations branch has given me a unique understanding and insight into Israeli life. Let me help you create a visit which will be truly memorable, something suited to your personal interests, pace and style. See and feel how the Bible is woven into the history, culture, peoples and religions of Israel, both ancient and modern. Walk where the Israelite patriarchs, kings and common folk walked, or gain a singular understanding of Israeli military history. See a stunning desert sunset, travel the Galilee or sample the excitement of Tel-Aviv, have lunch with Jewish family in Jerusalem or a Druze family on the Golan Heights - the possibilities are endless. Of course you are on vacation, so just plain fun won't be neglected. You can get in water sports, camping, food and wine, or spend some time lazing on a Dead Sea beach. So get in touch - a great tour is waiting for you - Israel Ministry of Tourism, guide license no. 10966. BA International Relations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 2nd Temple-era Jerusalem, City of David Institute.
