Bio

Until the Covid19 broke – my primary profession was as an English tour guide in the Land of Israel, parallel to translation services I offered.

In 2019, I published a one-of-a-kind Hebrew/English dictionary for terms relating to the Land of Israel – “Know the Holy Land”.  It was the first attempt to create a professional glossary in Hebrew and English, covering geography, geology, archeology, architecture, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, site names, flora, fauna, and many other subjects. Below is a link to my book:

Since the Covid19 started and tourism collapsed, I was busy writing my second book in English, connecting the Evangelical Christians to the roots of their faith in the Land of Israel.  In October 2021, I finished writing my book, which holds 125,000 words.

I am now ready for the next phase in expanding my translation career.
