A couple of weeks ago I led a visit of Jewish educators on the 4HQ program to the West Bank. We visited Hebron (home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs - see above picture) and Gush Etzion, where the group met with Israelis and Palestinians (including activists with Roots) to learn firsthand about life in this conflicted area. It was an intense and fascinating day, despite the rainy weather! Get in touch if you're interested in organizing a day like this for your group.

Even tour guides need to go on holiday! I've just returned from a fantastic three week trip to Sri Lanka with my family. I visited Buddhist temples, climbed holy mountains, relaxed on empty beaches, and ate a lot of delicious curry! Now I am back in Jerusalem and looking forward to a busy period of guiding. Enjoy the pictures!
