I am Matti, a long-time private tour guide in Berlin, Germany. Among my tours is a Jewish Berlin tour, and many of my clients are Jewish (usually from either Israel or the US). While I’m not Jewish myself, I have a close connection to Berlin’s Jewish culture, as my mom works for the Jewish community. She’s the PA of the head of Berlin’s Jewish community (long story short: my parents are East Germans, hence had to learn Russian and after the Fall of the Berlin Wall the Jewish community in Berlin needed Russian translators for the many Jewish immigrants coming from former Soviet countries). I’ve studied History and English at the University of Potsdam and have been a guide since 2008.

My name is *Shai Shvalb*, and I am a professional private tour guide and the owner of *Know the Land*. As a storyteller, I love to lead and guide my guests using my private car in the Land of Israel. I am especially enthusiastic about guiding those interested in history and archaeology, interfaith dialogue and comparison, the Bible, Israeli society, and, of course, Israeli food and markets. I guide in a deep and meaningful way, seasoned with a sense of humor.
In 2019 I published a one-of-a-kind Hebrew English dictionary about the Land of Israel – *Know the Holy Land*. I recently (2022) finished writing the manuscript for my second book in English – *A Bridge to your Roots*. Using my knowledge of the Bible and Hebrew, my book connects Evangelical Christian believers to the Land of Israel, where all the roots of their faith began at the time of Jesus. So stay tuned
I offer you my services as a one-stop shop for all your needs in Israel: guidance, transportation, booking hotels, VIP handling at the airport, and anything else you might need.

India is a vast country of dramatic contrasts, extraordinary cultural richness, and religious diversity. Any visitor to India can choose from a wide array of tours. What distinguishes ours is its “insider’s perspective.”
I was born in Calcutta to a family with Baghdadi roots; I live in the United States today and speak widely about the Indian Jewish communities–always adding music wherever I go. My tour partner, Joshua Shapurkar, is a member of the Bene Israel community of Bombay and has been leading general and Jewish tours for twenty-five years. Together we have an intimate knowledge of the Indian Jewish communities and close relationships with its members.
You, too, will be treated as part of our broader family. You will meet and interact with community members, enjoy local hospitality, experience India’s magnificent cultural tapestry, and enjoy its rare Jewish treasures. We will attend Shabbat services together in Bombay and Calcutta. I will lead services in the Baghdadi-Indian tradition in the Maghen David Synagogue, where my father was rabbi, and share my memories with you as we walk together through streets and bazaars. Our accommodations are deluxe–and you won’t have to worry about meals or transportation in India: almost everything is included. Please join us on this unforgettable adventure!
