Originally from Staten Island, NY, Rav Simcha has lived with his family in Hebron for nearly 25 years since making aliyah (immigrating to Israel).

He offers spellbinding stories of the foundational figures of the Jewish people and an insider’s perspective on the deep history of Hebron from ancient times until today. He has guided upwards of 100,000 people over the years on the Hebron Fund tour.

Rav Simcha’s tours typically include the Cave of the Patriarchs & Matriarchs, the Tomb of Ruth and Yishai, Tel Hebron Archaeological Park and Neighborhood, the Avraham Avinu Synagogue, Beit Hadassah, and the Hebron Museum. The feedback is phenomenal!

Rav Simcha also guides individuals, families and groups in the Old City of Jerusalem every week (generally Tuesdays) and runs other trips throughout Yehuda & Shomron. His love for these regions is apparent, as he brings out the holiness and special grace of Israel, connecting people to the Bible and to their roots.
