I started out my career as a field guide at the Ein Gedi Field Study Center on the shores of the Dead Sea, which I later became the manager of. With time the shores of the Dead Sea have shifted, as have I. I have worked at the Ministry of Environment, at the Society for Protection of Nature in Israel, at the Technion Institue and at EU funded projects to promote the protection of nature and the environment. I coordinated the first policy in Israel to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, the first policy of Sustainable Development and more. If you look at the state of the environment, one might say that I have sort of failed. . . Now, after many years of guiding people as a hobby, I am a certified tour guide who does not aim to compete with other tour guides in remembering dates of events. I compete with them to provide my partners to the tour (you) with an enjoyable experience from which they will come out feeling, knowing and understanding (for example in Jerusalem) much better than when they enterd the Old City several hours earlier, and to make sure that they have had an enjoyable experience.

In this one hour virtual indoor tour we will meet some of the oldest and less known Christian Churches and denominations in the two Christian quarters in the Old City of Jerusalem - the Armenian and Christian quarters. "Flying" with Google Earth from one location to the other and walking with me through the narrow alleys of the city you will be able to get some of the feel of the city from the comfort of your couch at home. We will visit the Armenian St. James Cathedral, the Syrian Orthodox Church of St. Mark, learn of the Coptic and Ethiopian Churches and end at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where all these denomiantions and more come together. In the link you can see a promo of some of my live physical virtual tours https://youtu.be/j6AzL91UwY8
The tour lasts for up to an hour and a half in which we visit Jerusalem through my videos and my naration.
