My role as a guide is to act the “shadchanit” between Am Yisrael and the Land of Israel – to help foster and encourage deeper relationships between individuals and Eretz Yisrael, and to help uncover the personality of the land. My expertise is with the Galil, where I live with my family on our farm in Moshav Sde Ilan. Though my specialty is history and archaeology, I am passionate about the revitalization of Yisrael in her Land, and always try to highlight inherent connections between our present and our collective past.
