Dr. Shelley Anne Peleg is a tour guide, lecturer, and researcher in archaeology and the Land of Israel, who seeks to transform the encounter with heritage sites into a living encounter with human stories.

Dr. Shelley Anne Peleg is a tour guide, lecturer, and researcher in archaeology and the Land of Israel, who seeks to transform the encounter with heritage sites into a living encounter with human stories. For Shelley, archaeology is not only about stones and artifacts, but also—and perhaps primarily — about people. She strives to “make people speak” and also to “make stones speak,” and to reveal the stories behind official history: stories from the distant past alongside the voices of life in the present.
At the center of her work are the values of cultural partnership, equality, gender equality, love of the land, and love of people. These values guide both her work in the field and her lectures and trainings.
Over the years, she has been a partner behind the scenes of many significant projects, and in each encounter—whether it is a tour, lecture, or conversation — she seeks to reveal what is not always visible: the human stories behind the sites, processes, and stones.
Shelley lectures, writes, and continues to engage in writing and research, out of a desire to deepen the connection between people, places, and memory.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
