My favorite site to guide is the Old City of Jerusalem. With a history more diverse than anywhere else in the world, this is the heart of the biblical history where cobblestone streets reveal the layers of many cultures that have left their mark on the city.

My best tip to ensure a great trip in Israel is to keep a bottle of water in hand during the day, a glass of wine at dinner, and just a little Chutzpa in between

Holocaust survivor and human right activist Eli Wiesel would be my favorite Jewish figure, especially at times when we must show people the evils of antisemitism. Wiesel has inspired countless individuals to hope for a better future, to combat injustice and to appreciate the value of human dignity.
