Hi, I'm Nir Shimon, I live in a small apartment in the heart of Jerusalem, the noisy part of it (25 min walk from the Western wall). I have a great connection to nature. I like to cook, practice meditation, music lover, traveling. I learn and I teach Kabbalah - Jewish mysticism.
I'm a people person, love to listen and to talk God, life experiences, traveling, music.
A searcher for the thread that connects everything and everyone.
I study the dead sea scrolls, and in my free time I relax in front of the TV.

I have 2 CATs
They enter and leave the apartment as they please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stated working with an Israeli girl based in Thailand online and I ended up traveling there for love. It didn't work out with the girl but the trip changed my life.

Jerusalem (Fire) is one of 4 spiritual cities of Israel. the other 3 are Safed (Air), Hebron (Earth), Tiberius (Water).

Jeruz is an orthodox city with some secular spots. The train will take you in 40 to Tel Aviv. The air is fresh, weather a bit on the cold side, people are nice.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are looking to get to know the real Jewish soul and you don't mind taking the road less traveled, Safed(Air) is the place for you. Safed is a city located on a mountain overseeing the sea of Galilee and Mount Hermon. It is a place painters and poets chose to live in & where masters of the Tora (Rabanim/Mekubalim) came to study Kabbalah throughout the centuries.
On a typically Friday evening you can hear spontaneous singing from every corner and enjoy a Jewish hospitality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bed, a couch, a nice conversation, a glass of wine)

You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body
