I grew up in New Jersey and am proud to be an Israeli by choice! I attended public school. My Bar Mitzva had a profound impact on me and I’ve spent the rest of my life learning about and bring committed to the destiny of the Jewish people. I spent high school at Yeshivot in Baltimore and California; later, earning degrees in Talmudic Law and Business Administration.
After making Aliyah in 1984 I worked in education and the catering business before earning my Israeli tour guide license. Over the past 25 years, I have served as the Israel Educator for a wide variety of groups including Birthright, Synagogue, Family, Adult and youth groups, Diplomats and family missions. I am also a Shoah Educator and have guided numerous Jewish roots journeys with the March of the Living and other groups in Poland and Eastern Europe.
