My blogs
| Introduction | As an educator and a Rabbi, I am currently involved in several fabulous institutions and projects. I teach Tanach and Jewish Thought at Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi, I am Director of the Community Education program at Machon Pardes, Jerusalem. And I lead Tanakh tours of sites around Israel; City of David, Western Wall tunnels, Tzipppori, Ramat Rachel, Shilo and others - email me to book a tour. I write and podcast for the Virtual Beit Midrash. Currently, my most exciting new thing is my new book on Kings I. It is called "Torn in Two - Melakhim I" and will be published by Maggid in Spring 2012. I love lecturing abroad and I enjoy my lecture tours as scholar-in-residence. I live with my wife Aliza and 4 fabulous kids in Alon Shevut, Gush Etzion. It is a wonderful Yishuv with a great number of educators, and the Yeshiva in which I learned - Yeshivat Har Etzion (Gush). Apart from teaching, I conduct weddings for Tzohar - an organisation which aims at bridging gaps between the secular and religious public here in Israel. I play guitar, and I run a few times a week to stay in shape. I love living in Israel and thank God every day that I am here. |
