MY STORY

Originally from Houston, Texas, I studied in yeshivot across Brazil, Argentina, Israel, and the United States. I received my degree in Religious Studies from the Rabbinical College of America in 2007.
In 2009, my wife and I moved to Manaus, Brazil, to establish the first Beit Chabad in the Amazon region. Since then, we've been privileged to build and nourish Jewish life in one of the most isolated Jewish communities in the world.

WHY THE AMAZON?

The Amazon is more than a destination—it's a classroom, a challenge, and a place of incredible beauty. After more than a decade living here, I know the land, the people, and the logistics. This allows us to offer a safe, meaningful, and life-changing experience.
