About the Tour Director

Dani Rotstein is a content producer, entrepreneur and storyteller. A New Jersey native, Dani, has spent years traveling the world producing advertisements for large commercial firms. When he moved to the Spanish island of Majorca in 2014 to produce TV commercials, he didn’t expect much Jewish life there. His surprising discoveries led to his work on the documentary film Xueta Island: A Hidden History, for which he is not only a director, but also a subject. He became involved with the local Jewish community, founding Limud Mallorca as well as Jewish Majorca – a company that offers educational tours of Jewish heritage sites around Spain and Portugal.
