My name is
Tom Powers
I have been living in Israel since 1999, experiencing the Land and its people and learning all I can about this unique place! I love sharing with people its diverse wonders -- the history, archaeology, natural beauty, and the Biblical connections -- all amid the crosscurrents of culture and sometimes conflicting human aspirations in this shared land...
I am an American citizen living in Jerusalem, a native English speaker, and a graduate of a Ministry of Tourism-approved tour guide course. If you are considering a visit to Israel in the coming days, I would be very pleased to hear from you and provide any assistance I can.

Peace to you all...
