Israel 1977: Michael Ben Avi



Not sure we could have had a better tour guide than Michael...

I agree! It was so cool that we were able to have him as a guide again in 1979. I still remember his tan marks on his feet from his sandals. Great photo of him!!!

Loved the fact that he was an archaeologist who had worked on the Masada dig, as well as a very cool guy. I still have my sandals like his that a lot of us bought..

I knew Michael too -- for several years but lost touch when I left Israel in the mid-80s. Does anyone know what happened to him?

I am Michael's son, and came accross this image of him on line that led me to this webpage. It was so nice to read the comments about my father. I am sorry to tell he has passed away in 2002, while living in cyprus for the last few years of his life. God bless his soul.
