He has also served as an instructor and teacher, working with different age groups and sectors of Israeli society, and was a tour guide with The Israel Experience, leading North and South American youth in their first visit to Israel.
Itai earned his M.A. in Geography and Environmental Development from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and has published papers in academic journals. Prior to his University studies, he served three years in the IDF as a tank commander in the Armored Corps. In 2016, Itai joined a young leadership delegation from Ramat HaNegev, where he learned about American Jewish life. One year ago, Itai and his family moved to Denver, where he currently serves the Jewish community as senior emissary for JEWISHcolorado and The Jewish Agency for Israel.
