My name is Levi Zelkind, and I was born in Moscow USSR, and from 1985 live in Israel. My love for the history of the Bible Land has driven me all my life, but till 2010 I was dealing primarily with the Hi-Tech business, in Israel and abroad. I have a Master's Degree in Telecommunications from Moscow Technical University, an MBA from Tel Aviv University, and a Post-MBA from INSEAD France. My travels around the World have made me familiar with different cultures and have helped me to gain an understanding and deep respect for their diversity. Every time and again I used to take my business customers and partners visiting Israel to tour around my country. Finally, the decision was ripe, and I started the Tour Guides Program at Beit Berl Educational College. After 2. 5 years of highly intensive studies, I've got my diploma and the Tour Guide Certificate. Additionally to my deep knowledge of Judaism, which also comes from family roots, I've also done intensive studies of Christianity at the Ben Zvi Research Institute. I've further continued my intensive studies, and in 2024 have graduated from Levinsky Educational College, where I've continued my Biblical education, and have got a diploma of the Bibiblical and General History Teacher. This permits me to also teach children of the Mid and High-school ages. This is how I have organized and led guided tours around Israel for the last ten years. My guiding specialization is private individual and family tours around Israel . These tours may continue from one day to two weeks, and they all are fully tuned to my guests' specific needs, abilities and requirements. Indeed, Israel is the Holy Land of the Bible, and therefore, my tours vary from the general history and culture tours to the specific Christian, Jewish, and Muslim ones. I love showing our guests Israel and am happy to create an unforgettable experience for them. That is why I have already twice been honored with the Excellence Award and I am very proud of it because it came from you, from my esteemed clients. And now I'm looking forward to continuing to show our country to the new guests!
