Eden on the left, during the Jewish tours of Paris Le Marais

Eden is a tour guide in Paris, specialized in the Jewish tour in Le Marais. 

He is a translator and a Hebrew teacher in Paris. He learned to speak a little Yiddish and German. 

He plays Klezmer Music, in Parisian bars and Coffee shops, he mastered the clarinet instrument. 

Born in Israel, in a Kibboutz in the Neguev, until the age of 8 surrounded by the warmth of the collective life, before he moved to Kfar-Saba, a city not far from Tel-Aviv.

Eden’s passion began when he studied philosophy in Jerusalem, seeing everyday from the window of the classroom : the amazing Old City, a labyrinth of history, religion and culture. Knowing that every monument, every church or synagogue have their own history, he quickly started learning about these fantastic and mystical places.

The growing interest for Jewish history came him after he moved to Paris where he got to know and work with the Jewish community in this beautiful city, starting in the Shoah Memorial as an official tour guide.

After living a few years in Paris, he started realizing that the Judaism of today is inextricably related to its diasporic existence and heritage. and the Jewish heritage of Paris is of one of the richest and the most diverse !
