For the third summer in a row, I was lucky enough to have Samuel guide my teen leadership group’s summer travel days. Knowing I would be working alongside Samuel made everything easier for me before and during the trip.
Samuel has many strengths (extremely knowledgeable, creative problem solver, knows all the good ice cream places!), but being a guide who has a clear vision of what he is going to share, and being able to hold the interest of teenagers while doing so, are rare qualities.
Samuel also goes above and beyond the call of duty – he is always looking out for the best interests of the group, advocates on our behalf, and remains available to participants (and leaders!) even after the trip has ended. I know that my teens can always email him with questions about the places we visited or about Israel in general, and he is always happy to answer my questions or give me suggestions even when unrelated to our work together.
I can’t recommend him enough!
