The whole story, told with nuance

Groups come to Israel to understand it, not just to see it. I've been guiding missions and programs since 2006, and I work closely with mission directors, Jewish professionals and organizers to turn their goals into days that land.

Expect honest answers to hard questions, encounters with the people behind the headlines, and the energy to keep a bus full of people engaged from breakfast to the last session.

Groups I guide

Federation and community missions

From first-time community trips to leadership missions, built with your mission director.

Students and young adults

University and Ivy League geopolitical treks, and informal Jewish education programs for teens.

Leadership and professional groups

Women's leadership missions, corporate groups and foreign government delegations.

Multifaith groups

Programs that explore how Judaism, Christianity and Islam share this land.

Good questions

Do you work with travel agents and mission organizers?

Yes. I regularly work alongside mission directors, Jewish professionals and local organizers, and I'm happy to fit into your existing logistics.

Can you help design the program?

Yes. I can help shape the itinerary around your group's goals, from site choices to the questions each day should open up.

What size groups do you guide?

From small leadership groups to full buses. Tell me about your group and I'll suggest the best format.

Can the program include the Gaza Envelope?

Yes. Many groups include a day in the south to understand October 7th and the communities rebuilding there.

Tell me about your group

Your organization, group size, dates and goals. I read and answer every message myself.
