שמעו סיפור:
את התמונה המקסימה הזאת קלטתי בביתה של חני שאותה באתי לראיין לאלבום סיפור החיים שלה. חני מתגוררת גם היום בבית ילדותה, הבית שבו גידלו אותה אביה ואמה. על דלפק העבודה שלה, ממש לנגד עיניה, מוצבת תמונת ילדותה שאותה הכניסו ההורים למעמד מקושט ויפה, נוסח הימים ההם. וכך על אותו דלפק, 75 שנים אחרי, אותה תמונה מוצבת מול עיניה של אותה ילדה.
אותי זה מרגש.
גם לכם יש לכם אוצרות ומזכרות בני 75 שנים?

asking for tourists ..
Do you remember the day you walked away ?
Do you remember leaving your home knowing you will not be back , at least not the same way .
was it leaving for college ? going to the Army ? making Aliya ? getting a job on the other coast ?
L**h lecha - can be translated in few ways : walk away / walk for yourself
The Torah story of Genesis 12, tells us about a 75 years old man that started anew . walking towards the unknown
passing through great changes ..
he was also the first one that gives us names of places he visited sites we can visit today
where is Harran his homebased ? where did he stop along the way?
Elon moreh , Beit El Ha'ai
I have made for you a short video following Abram and Sarai
walking away
Shabat Shalom

Is your father and mother boring
(provocative caption to catch your attention)
It’s a good question, Erez"
You know what?!
I have never asked my father? "
Our parents are getting old!!
We are busy
Our kids don’t care much … for now
The stories wisdom and insights of our parent's life
Are a valuable commodity
With no buyers!!!
Why is that?
Because story telling is an ART
And most of us don’t have the patience to listen just out of respect.
--------
For the last 10 year I have been offering personalized tours for better
Understanding our parent's life choices ...
Now I have a new project
I call it- Personal Time capsules
I Collect arrange and help your parents tell their life stories
(via phone calls, Zoon meeting or personal home visit with a recorder)
Those stories are kept as a short (up to 5 minutes) episodes on
A personal internet page to wait as a time capsule
For the moments your kids will ask you …. (for example)
Where did grandpa and grandma met for the first time?
What's app me

"אמור לי מי אתה ואקח אותך לשם" זהו המוטו המוביל בטיולים האישים שלנו ב טיולים אישיים - אבני דרך
הפעם ביקשנו לחבר קבוצת בני נוער אמריקאים - יהודיים לארבעה מוטיבים מרכזיים שיסיעו להם בסלילת שביל חייהם:
🔷 יצירת חזון,
🔷 מחוייבות לאותו רעיון,
🔷 נחישות ברגעי משבר
🔷 מנהיגות אישית וחברתית .
הדרך שלנו לגרום לחיבור הזה שיעבוד: "לחבר בין סיפורו של אדם וסיפורו של מקום".
חיפשנו ליצור מסלול טיול שיחשוף את הנוער לאנשים ולמקומות המביעים את הנרטיב הזה.
הנה חלק מהמקומת שבהם היינו:
✔️ ביקרנו בקיבוץ עין גב שחבריו גילו נחישות יוצאת דופן כאשר עמדו לבדם מול האוייב הסורי.
✔️ עבדנו בחווה האקולוגית חוות קיימא חוקוק Kaima hukuk organic בחוקוק המעודדת נוער נושר מבתי הספר לגלות מחוייבות לעתידם.
✔️ הכרנו את מרגלית זינאתי, שומרת הגחלת היהודית ב כפר פקיעין, המגלמת באורח חייה מחוייבות, נחישות ומנהגות של אדם אחד.
✔️ ב נמל יפו עסקנו בתקוותם של העולים בעליות הראשונות לחיים טובים יותר לצאצאיהם, עובדה שחייבה אותם לחזון ולמחוייבות לדרך.
✔️ חווינו את סיפוריהם של צעירי ההפלמ"ח ודור 48 שערב ערב קברו את חבריהם וקמו עם שחר לקרב חדש. מוזיאון הפלמ״ח.
✔️ דמענו את סיפורם של אילן רונה ואסף רמון שהשאירו אחריהם מורשת של עשיה ואמונה בדרך. מרכז מבקרים מכתש רמון, חי רמון - רשות הטבע והגנים
✔️ שוחחנו על בן גוריון ב שדה בוקר-קבר בן גוריון שנותן דוגמא אישית to walk his talk.
✔️ חקרנו את סיפרם של ראשוני התושבים ב Mitzpe Ramon - מצפה רמון החוצבים באבן צרובי השמש והרוח .
✔️ למדנו ערך נחישותם של בני דור החורבן ומגיני מצדה ותנועות הנוער החלוצי שהופכים את Masada (מצדה) לסמל של "שנית מצדה לא תיפול".
ניסינו לבדוק מה יכולה להיות מצדה עבורינו היום במאה ה21, מהו אותו ערך שחשוב לנו לנו לא לאבד.
כפי שהבטחתי לעצמי בשנה האחרונה שבכל הדרכה במצדה אזכיר את שמה של לורי קיי גיברט In Memorium. Our Virtual Shiva for Lori Gilbert Kaye.
מסאן דיאגו שידעה מהי "מצדה" עבורה והגנה בגופה על רב הקהילה בפיגוע האנטישמי בעיר השנה.
כולי תקווה שחווית ההכרות עם המקומות והאנשים יצופו ויעלו בכל עת שיחשבו על מהי ישראל עבורם.

Whenever I bring visitors to Masada I ask them:
‘What is Your Masada?’
What is most important to you in your life? What will you
never, under any circumstances, overlook or wave aside?
The most common answer I get is: “my family, my children…”
This week I once again had the opportunity to experience Masada with an amazing family, one that strived to come back together again. Many years ago, they parted ways, leaving their family bonds to slip away and loosen. The son, Joel, immigrated to another land where he raised his family, yet the anger, even though belonging to other times and other places, did not dissolve.
Recently, Joel’s brother passed away and suddenly he realized it’s only him and his old father left from their seed family. Fortunately, timing was right for Joel’s father as well, today 92 and in an enviable mental and physical condition. Slowly but surely they came closer, bridging between their worlds towards a joint family trip to Israel. For Joel this was his first visit to Israel and for his father it was the first time to meet his 18 year old granddaughter.
Twilight is graceful in Masada, bringing a light caressing breeze to disarm the day’s heat. The site is almost empty, as at this time of day most tourists have already left.
I am overwhelmed, I feel this is the time for will and desire, this is Sha’at Ratzon. I tell Joel, Grandpa Benjamin and their family how here at Masada many people tell me, that most important in their lives are their families.
“For you, I say to them, the last few years were like creating something new – a new family and getting to know each other. For you, I go on, the phrase – again Masada will not fall, has an even stronger emphasis – never again will your family fall apart.”
I fill my lungs with air and roar towards the mountains, fading out in the evening light:
Again Masada will not fall!
I then noticed how for the first time in decades, the old father took his son’s hand in his.
The grandfather then turned to me and quietly whispered into my ear: “I do not have many years left in this world, he said, I will though never forget this day which I will cherish till my last.”
These words are, needless to say, the most thrilling words a host and a tour guide can possibly hear.
May you be signed and sealed in the book of life.

I have never considered tour guiding as a profession. It was always an inside calling for giving and receiving. Slowly with the passing years, it became clear that it's all about creating relationships with Israel ( people and land ) through me. This Summer was such a great gift for me to all of you who chose to tie your hearts with this place in a meaningful way. for there is NO way to experience Israel in a meaningful way BUT to take it personally I want to thank every one of you for choosing me and Milestones Israel for this Israel Experience. We have made a short video clip of a collection of personal and Happy Israel moments summer of 2022. #israeli_moments #loves_israel #israelis_traveling #israeliwomen
What does Jerusalem taste like ? A new way to connect kids with Isrsel: I was inspired by a old Jewish tradition from north Africa . Shlomo Bar ,in his song ,tells us that when a Jewish kid in his village celebrated 5 years old , There was a big party for him . The community will bring him to the synagogue all Hebrew Letters where written with honey and the kid was invited to lick the letters To make the Tora study Sweet and desired. Look what i did today with kids of a dentist 😃 Who said personal tourism and didn't get one
