Favorite site or activity to guide and why? My favorite sites to guide are Tel Dan and Jerusalem. Beside being a beautiful nature reserve with flowing streams and lush vegetation like the willow, fig, and oak trees that connect to the history of the land, Tel Dan is one of the only places in Israel where we can see evidence of an Israelite city from the first temple period. We can see the Bible coming to life. My love for guiding Jerusalem needs no explanation. My fascination with that city grows with each visit.

What’s your best tip for first time visit in Israel? Come ready to be confused. Israel is so often misrepresented in the media that you may well be shocked by the complex and fascinating place you will discover.

Favorite Jewish/Israeli historical figure and why? In my eyes, David Ben Gurion was the greatest leader of the Jewish People since Moses. He led us through the hardest time in our history to our independence and he formed the foundation on which modern Israel is based.
