COMING HOME: The Genesis Creation Story: of Hebraic Faith, Hope, and Love for Everyday Life
Shalom. I am Avi ben Mordechai. You can call me Avi or Avinoam. I am not a Rabbi, a Pastor, nor even a Teacher in the biblical sense of the word. I am Jewish. I am an Israeli State-Licensed tour guide. I am a writer, researcher, and lecturer on the theology of the Bible in its Hebraic context. I am in search of biblical Truth, which I believe will always lead one to seek out the Biblical Land of Israel -- above.
At the age of 49 years, I made Aliyah (moved to Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel). I made the move to the Land because I was not satisfied with where I was going with my life in America. I began searching for an open door into my history and heritage, desiring to seek a true tangible experience in a place called “HOME.” Strangely, after living many years in the Land of Israel, I did not find a place that I could call "home."

Oftentimes, whenever I am invited to present one or more lectures to an audience in a particular area, any number of people doing a simple Google search on my name will find that the search will inevitably return some less-than-favorable entries that do not always paint me in a positive light. This kind of “pushback” is quite understandable given that with the doctrinal changes I’ve experienced over the past few decades, not everyone has regularly followed those changes, nor do they really know about where I am doctrinally coming from these days. In other words, many generally know of me and of my twenty-five years of international lectures and teachings. However, many often know me only by reading a lot of old, outdated information. For whatever reasons, some folks have not kept up with my spiritual journey, where I am and what I now understand from the written word of scripture. This reminds me of what happened with Paul in the Second Temple period when he was widely known as • Shalom. I chart Avi ben Mordechai.
