About Us
The Way to Jerusalem initiative is led by Yael Tarasiuk and Golan Rice. It was inspired by the immense potential of personal empowerment which is inherent in walking a path of pilgrimage to a destination of such worldwide significance.
Golan Rice - Golan is the author of the book "On the Way to Santiago," in which he shares his experiences and personal pilgrimage. He has undertaken two long and profound journeys along the Way of Santiago, an experience that deepened his understanding and knowledge on the subject Golan specializes in building interpersonal bridges and developing management and leadership skills fostering connections between cultures and facilitating interreligious and intercultural dialogue.
Yael Tarasiuk-Nevo -Yael a community builder, initiator, and leads social projects in the public sector. With extensive experience as a Training Development Manager leading organizational processes and guiding individuals in building their personal narratives. Yael specializes in creating programs to bridge the gaps and empowering marginalized populations, integrating them into society with an understanding of the unique needs of these communities.
Tom Rice - A CEO, Business Administration and Entrepreneurship student, and a dedicated pilgrim with strong connections to international communities, specializing in creating empowering journeys that leave a significant and enriching impact on both pilgrims and local communities.
The initiative also stems from a desire to improve, however slightly, the way we as a global community; how we relate to, and communicate with, one another. It understands, appreciates and responds to the need for connection, multinationalism, sharing, tolerance, and patience—much like the city of Jerusalem itself.
