I'm very excited to meet new people - which is a great way to expand your horizons! I'm involved with different groups of interfaith dialog and believe that we need to know who we are and where we came from, and at the same time respect and value all cultures and traditions, as they all contribute in different ways to make this world so colorful and interesting ! Let's learn from each other and have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I've mentioned above, I love communicating with ppl from different cultures- it makes your trip so much more real, when you meet wth a local, who both knows the place and can give you another perspective on where you are.
I've recently became a licensed tour guide in Israel, and I will be happy to share my knowledge of this great country wth fellow couch surfers !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've got all the way from NY to London, to get tkts on a unique performance of my fav group from Spb, Aquarium - and this was totally spontaneous decision! I've actually invited my friend from Israel ( who didn't even realize that we are going to see our fav group performing in London !) - this concert was free, and when the organizers learnt that we came from that far, they gave us seats in the first row !
This was pretty mind-boggling I must say ( on the way back I've got so tired that I've missed my flight, lol )

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in different cultures, religions and philosophies. I believe that 14 years of my intense study of Judaism no my Rabbinical practice make me quite an expert in that field- and I'm very excited to share my knowledge and learn from you guys !
As a licensed tour guide, I can give you plenty of tips of where to go and what to do in Israel, plus I'm happy to hang out with you if you wish ( and if I happen to be free )
