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.

There is more to local wildlife than Israel's street cats. Embark on a journey to discover the rich flora and fauna special to the region, and be enriched by knowledge of references to these animals in the Bible. This is a fun family tour with lots of information about animals, Jewish history, and the Land of Israel. "Flee, my beloved, and liken yourself to a gazelle or to a fawn of the hinds on the spice mountains. " Song of Songs, Chapter 8, Verse 14
We will start the tour at the front of the zoo and make our way to the deer and gazelle enclosure, those being the animals most often mentioned in the Bible. Next, we will look at the fish and crocodiles in their ponds, delving into their portrayal in Jewish literature. We will see the monkeys and discover the connection between the blessing Jews make over seeing a monkey and the Tower of Babel. We will make a stop at "Noah's Ark" and learn about the tasks of the ancient zookeeper - Noah! Next, we will admire the majestic lions and cheetahs, and hear many of the stories in the Bible where they play a role - including the lion's den the prophet Daniel was thrown into, and Samson's battle with the lion. After that, we will visit some other predators including the vultures, wolves, and bears, and learn their lessons and significance in the Bible. We will end our tour at the petting zoo and cafe in the center of the complex, from where you will be free to continue your journey to other areas of interest.
