Hi! Are you looking for a great tour of Jerusalem from a Jewish lens? You've come to the right place! I can show you around the ancient, traditional Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem, where you can catch an enchanting glimpse into a seemingly by-gone era. You can meet people leading a completely media-free lifestyle, and walk along the alleys where they and generations of their ancestors have eaten, prayed, and loved. . . I can take you on a fascinating tour of Jerusalem's old city, peppered with stories of the righteous Jews who walked those paths. We can experience together the palpable majesty and mystery of the Western Wall, where two thousand years of tears and prayers were offered to One G-d. I can also take you down to the secret Western Wall tunnels, that actually hide the heart of the Wall, and share with you its tragic history. Another tour you might opt for is a tour of the Underground Prisoners' Museum, which offers a view into the fascinating history of the modern State of Israel. The fates of many who sacrificed their lives fighting for Israel are on display at this little-known jem of a museum, and I would be happy to guide you through it. Of course, we can customize any tour to your needs and interests. I will be happy to figure out together what will work best and deliver the most satisfaction to you based on your interests, your time, and your leisure. I can also definitely offer suggestions for further exploring Jerusalem and beyond, to make your holiday here special and worthwhile. I am looking forward to inviting you to experience the inside scoop on Jerusalem - the epicenter of the world! ABOUT ME I moved to Jerusalem from the United States in 2015, and have been studying, working, and building a family here since then. Having received a teaching degree from an Israeli college, my passion for sharing knowledge has translated into guiding tours to new visitors to this beautiful, holy, eternal city. I have no doubt that you, too, will be overtaken by Jerusalem's charm and majesty. The Torah says, "G-d's Eyes do not leave this Land from the inception of the year until its end. " Come and experience basking in the glory of this view! History teacher certified by the Israeli Ministry of Education. The tour of the Jewish neighborhoods can only be conducted if all the participants are attired in modest dress. (Long sleeves, high collar, and mid-calf skirt for women.) I have no restrictions in terms of my guiding.

Overview of your Jerusalem tour

This tour is an excellent way to experience the spiritual energy of Jerusalem and tick all the must-see sights of this holy city (and more)! Let me take you on a journey to discover the history of the exile and re-building of the Jewish people. We will explore the first and second Temple eras and understand the meaning of the destruction of the Temples. We will also delve into the modern history of the re-settlement of Israel and see the actualization of Biblical prophecies! If you want to hear a traditional Jewish perspective on the history of the Temples - a perspective you will not read in history books or hear online - then I invite you to take this fascinating tour with me.

We were most pleased to have Yael ntroduce us to Jerusalem, its importance, its beauty and its history. She showed us around the various quarters as we walked through one of the most historic Cities in the world. With her as our informed and educated guide, we saw OLd Jerusalem savoring every moment of it. The ultimate stop was the Western Wall, also called Wailing Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem, a place of prayer and pilgrimage sacred to the Jewish people. She is, most professional and courteous

Yael is an exceptional guide. She went over and above to be flexible to accommodate three older people with some mobility issues, without compromising the quality of the the tour, which was outstanding and a highlight of our stay in Jerusalem. She is the ideal choice for anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of Jewish Jerusalem. She is knowledgeable and an excellent communicator who can tailor a tour to the requirements and interests of the group. Book a tour with her for a memorable experience.
