Tour Guiding in Jerusalem and throughout Israel; Bat and Bar Mitzvah services at Robinson's Arch or other sites
Tour Guiding
As a rabbi, educator and licensed Israeli tour guide, I can create a one-of-a-kind tour adapted to your interests. What do you love? Water? Bible? Ecology? Hearing multiple narratives? Nature and hiking? Meeting cool Israelis? Hi-tech? Art? History? Archeology? Great food? Challenge sports? Volunteering? Learning?
​I work with people of all ages, religions and backgrounds as well as all levels of budget and types of groups. I am sensitive to group and family dynamics and go above and beyond to create a meaningful, fun and memorable experience for you.

Special niche tours for bnei mitzvah:
​
-
Struggle, resilience, and hope through the ages - Old City of Jerusalem Discover pivotal moments in First Temple (700's BCE), Second Temple (@70 CE), and Modern History (1948, 1967) where people in these very streets faced the worst and hoped and planned for the best possible outcomes. End in the courtyard of the Rova School where 'boys and girls are playing in the streets of the city' (prophecy of Zechariah 8:5, 500's BCE).

Famous young people in Israel - past and present. From engineering to spying, sports to music, youth have shown maturity and daring beyond their years. Meet these inspiring teenagers and add your voices to theirs, making history today.
-
Ethical dilemmas - from Massada to the British Mandate, kibbutz life and the IDF. Becoming bar mitzvah is about assuming responsibility and making choices. What would you do at each of these defining moments in Israel's history?​
