Amy Ben-Dov has more than 30 years of experience in Jewish Education. After earning her Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin, she made aliya to Israel and became a licensed tour guide by Israel’s Ministry of Tourism. She has spent many years educating throughout Israel and holds a Master’s in Contemporary Jewry from Hebrew University.

Amy taught and coordinated at NFTY’s High School in Israel program and served as the Director of Education for all of NFTY’s Israel programs. She focused on program development and guide training, notably as the CEO of Israel Seminar, a boutique travel company. Later, Amy trained future tour guides as the Israel School of Tourism’s Jerusalem course coordinator. 

Amy and her husband founded a travel consultancy, where she guided clients and managed travel planning. During the pandemic, she created innovative virtual tours of Israel and online courses on Israel’s history which continue until today.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys outdoor adventures and lives in Jerusalem with her husband, Gadi, and their two children, Niv and Ori. Her friends and family can always count on her to suggest a great way to spend a few hours or even a few days.
