History is an adventure — an exploration of ideas, places, people, cultures, and the stories that connect us all. I’m here to share that with your family in this online Jewish history course, so you and your kids can also get excited about the study of the past.
This is primarily a Jewish history course, but we delve deeply into global history too. Jewish history doesn’t happen in a vacuum — with a better understanding of the cultural, geographic, and historical context, we enrich our own learning and identity. As a child of the Old City of Jerusalem, I have a strong connection to ancient history and archaeology, and we’ll learn about many ancient cultures and artifacts and how to think about them.
During the year, we cover Tanach (Biblical stories), other periods of Jewish history, famous characters in global and Jewish history, and the occasional fun topic across science, art, archaeology — using Google Earth to travel to distant places.
Do I need prior knowledge?
No, but it helps. I always introduce every topic with a brief overview to bring everyone up to speed. I assume my audience is diverse, and I do my best to present the material in a respectful and thoughtful way. Jewish and Biblical topics are taught with a respectful attitude towards the entire spectrum of secular-traditional-religious attendees.
My terminology is both general (Babylon, Genesis, Temple) and traditional (Bavel, Beit haMikdash). Everyone knows what I’m talking about and can connect.
Ages 6–16: Multi-Age Learning
This course is for kids and teens, and adults often join and enjoy as well. The earliest age I recommend is 6, but it varies from child to child — I have regulars who are 4, and some who joined at 7 when they felt ready. As the community grows, I hope to separate classes by age, like I do in the Hebrew course.
Recorded classes & video library access
All classes are recorded and edited, with extra links and videos added to each video. You get access to the recording of any class you paid for. Classes from previous years are grouped into courses and available for purchase as members.

What topics do we cover — and what have we covered? read more ↓
Across four years in Hebrew (with the English track added two years ago), we’ve explored Tanach through Second Temple period narratives (Joshua, Judges, Samuel), with a focus on geography, archaeology, art, and history; the major Biblical-era empires (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome); the Jewish calendar, agriculture, symbols, and holidays; and a wide range of fascinating general topics — mythology, hieroglyphics, the great revolutions (urban revolution, the invention of writing, the industrial revolution), the history of education and schools, amazing libraries around the world, travelers who expanded the world, and many more.
Year-to-year content is mostly fresh, with occasional revisits when a topic deserves a second look. The recorded course library you see below is still being built — more sessions are in the pipeline and added as they’re ready.

We were on a tour with Nachliel and children and adults enjoyed it so much! He conducts the tour in an interesting way,Shares with the children and everything in an experiential way… And to think that museums really bore us, but together with his special tour it really changed. Really recommend!!שרה זנדני
We were on a tour of the museum with Nachliel, the children (and I) were fascinated, the children had a lot of fun and what was lovely is that during the tour Nachliel engages them, solves riddles and makes them be part of the tour and the investigation. A very interesting tour, highly recommend! (For all ages, we were also with a 4-year-old who really enjoyed himself)ענבל מנצור
When it’s earned – it’s earned!! We met Nachliel for the first time in Caesarea on a tour called “The Walk to Caesarea”. He is not just a guide – he is something a little different. manages to create a sense of personal connection even when there is really no prior acquaintance. The tour was great, fascinating explanations including warnings when the content is less suitable for young children. He made walking in the port of Caesarea an experience and an adventure. We climbed walls, went up and down through the rocks, even the walk on the beach took on an exciting meaning when he took out a speaker and played us a song called the walk to Caesarea (including an explanation of the song). In short, I highly recommend it – really suitable for all agesשיר
Nachliel took us on a perfect day for a tour of Caesarea 🙂 We take great care of the children, through fascinating experiences and explanations – the children do not forget even after a long time! He did not give up any landmark, it is evident that he does everything with passion and great love for the profession. The walk is in a good and relaxed atmosphere, and there are snacks as a surprise!שני בית אור
A fascinating tour of museums in Jerusalem We know Nachliel from the Zoom “tours” and really fell in love, so we decided to tour two museums in Jerusalem with him. A pair of parents and two daughters aged 9 and 11. We started in the morning at the Israel Museum and finished in the evening at the Biblical Lands Museum. The tours were fascinating, interesting, enriching, funny, fun and what not. It is obvious that Nachliel really belongs in museums. It comes equipped with a large bag and every time surprises and pulls out a different surprise. Nachliel never gets tired for a moment and talks enthusiastically about everything, every item and every historical story, as if it were the first time. He spices everything up with humor and jokes, and stories from life. History, which was a “dry” subject at school, becomes a living, tangible and interesting thing. The girls were fascinated and so were we, they were interested and asked questions. Nachliel knows how to engage the children through puzzles and searches in the museum and really activates them. Nachliel knows how to talk to everyone so the tour spoke to the girls as well as to those who are older and more knowledgeable and we still learned a lot, we were exposed to things we didn’t know. Nachliel is a tireless source of knowledge. There was nothing he could not explain and answer. He is knowledgeable in every detail, in every performance and in his story. He is a special person. We don’t just recommend that you arrange a tour with him, we really implore you, you must get to know “the one from the museum”.ליאורה ס.
We have a rave review for Nachliel’s museum tours. We have already enjoyed two holiday related tours at The Israel Museum in Jerusalem and anxiously look forward to learning and experiencing more with The Museum Guy. During Pesach, Nachliel took us through some Egyptian artifacts, shedding light on their mythology and how appropriate some of the plagues are in light of their belief system. We saw household and communal Pesach items from different eras and regions. He created excitement for the kids, giving them tasks such as finding a hidden afikomen bag in the section of Jewish rites. This week, leading up to the high holidays, we once again experienced the rich and unbroken chain of our people. We saw explored holiday imagery – the shofar, lulav and etrog etc in mosaics from ancient synagogues, bread stamps, jewelry, oil lamps and more. We relished the opportunity to stand right near artifacts from the actual Temple, where the trumpets and shofar would have been blown. It is difficult to encapsulate in a short review. Suffice to say our children ages 4 and 6 just loved the tours. And us parents were no less captivated by the infectious enthusiasm for our history. It is a unique talent, how Nachliel can cater to such a range of ages all at once. Highly, highly recommended.Batsheva Smidt
A wise man said “Those who don’t know their history don’t have a future.” As parents we are in complete agreement and have sought out the richest resources for our 14 year old daughter’s education. Using cross-curricular instruction, Nachliel “The Museum Guy” brings, what could be dry stuffy information, to life! We are committed to this curriculum because we believe it has tremendous value and adds a depth to her education that she couldn’t get from other resources. Besides, he’s just a fun guy and she really looks forward to these class times.Lisa Zealey
We had such a fantastic time exploring Caesarea with Nachliel, “The Museum Guy”! We recently did a tour with him as part of a group of homeschooling families, and from the start, he connected with all the kids and helped them connect with each other while drawing them into history with fun stories, his rubber ducky props, and engaging challenges that kept them active and involved. Nachliel doesn’t just recite facts—he makes the history come alive! He helped the kids imagine what life was like, acted out historical moments, and created fun, hands-on experiences that made learning feel like an adventure. A great example was climbing to the top of the colosseum and seeing if someone at the bottom could hear them—such a simple but memorable way to experience history first hand. Nachliel really knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to make it fun for all ages. If you’re looking for a tour that’s both educational and entertaining, with a guide who can adapt to the needs of his group, this is the one. We’ve been on multiple tours and attended classes with Nachliel in both Hebrew and English, and he is always amazing! We highly recommend!Shoshana Gabbai
Nachliel’s guidance was excellent. He spoke to the children at eye level, gave them plenty of time and space to run around and run wild. Encourage them to climb, interest them. They studied and things were clear to them and they were conquered by the personality, the snacks and the mustache 🙂 Recommendsאפרת בזרקון
We were on a tour of the Philistine Museum in Ashdod with Nachliel, my teenagers who are very hard to please fly over him every time. He awakens their curiosity, the desire to ask and know more, the way to think about things themselves. It’s unlike any other museum tour we’ve taken and there’s no doubt we’ll be on more tours.שיר לוי
Nachliel brings a passion for teaching about Torah and Judaism that is truly infectious. His excitement with the material gets his students interested. His knowledge and engaging teaching style makes him one of the best Jewish teachers you can find.Binyamin Roscher
