About Me

My name is Jake Tokayer

I have been leading kosher backpacking tours in Japan since 2018. This all started when my grandfather, Rabbi Marvin Tokayer the former Chief Rabbi of the Far East and world-renowned expert in Jewish history of the region, brought me along on one of his tours of China and Japan to visit ancient and contemporary Jewish History sites. Since then, I fell in love with Japan and started working on my own tour company. Since then, I have led several backpacking tours and now I consult for other travel companies and individuals who want to travel to Japan.

​

For the last 12 years, I have worked and volunteered in many medical-related settings in the hopes of attending medical school. This included starting a research company that focused on gene coding, editing, and bacterial transformations. I also shadowed in the Boca Raton Baptist Hospital Emergency Dept, multiple physicians' offices, and worked in a summer camp infirmary. ​Additionally, I volunteered as an EMT in the Miami Fire Department Special Operations Venom One, a unit that treats snake bites both on-site and in the hospital.

​

In 2018 I drafted as a lone soldier in the Israeli Defence Forces as a tank driver, and during the current war, as infantry in the West Bank.

​

Since 2015, I worked as a logistics manager in Camp Stone, a summer camp in Pennsylvania.

​

Currently, I run my tours and work part-time in a few Jewish day schools in South Florida and New York as a substitute teacher.
