New Book: Waiting For The Boom

A memoir of ordinary life under fire in Israel. Sharp, funny, and unflinching, about what happens when war stops being news and becomes routine.An insider guide to Israel through a tour guide’s eyes; sharp; funny; unfiltered. Real stories from the road and behind the scenes.

I don't do generic scripts. From my time in a combat unit to earning my master's in history, I've learned that Israel's true beauty lies in its complex reality. As your local expert guide, I craft private luxury tours that skip the fluff. We will explore the history, innovation, culture, food, and wine of the country with complete authenticity. No filters, just the incredible, blunt truth of the Middle East.
