I’m an enthusiastic and dedicated guide and educator, whose love of the land – its nature, history and people – combines with his experience, flexibility and friendly, non-assuming nature to ensure an experience which will influence both your hearts and minds and make your visit to Israel the trip of a lifetime.
Born and raised in the heartland of the USA, I made Aliya as a young man and served in Israel’s special forces, joined a religious kibbutz, where I still live today, raised my family, and worked there as a dairy farmer.
Based on that wide, lifetime experience I combine Jewish and universal humanistic values, land and man, into an inspiring and personable guiding adventure.
Be it a family trip, a Jewish Heritage visit, a Bar-Bat Mitzvah event or nature excursion, be you a large community group or young couple, I will work with you to configure your Israel visit to your specific needs and desires.
