New Beginnings share
On Wednesday evening Jews around the world will be welcoming in a new year surrounded by their loved ones. Rosh Hashanah is an opportunity for new beginnings for all man kind.

Creating Life share
When I learned that I would be guiding a group of Gynecologists from India, my first goal was to understand the importance of gynecologists in the Indian society. It was clear that the “Personal Tourism aspect” of this tour should be the theme of Creating Life. Israel is an amazing place to experience the full meaning […]

Elvis Spotted near Jerusalem share
From the moment they entered my car, it was clear that this couple is in love. After 25 years together and four kids, he still adores her and she still sees the man of her dreams. It was a routine tour in Jerusalem with visits to the Arab market, or shuk, the Old City, and […]
