Finkelstein also helps his wife, Rabbi Jamie Korngold, run the Adventure Rabbi program.  Through search engine optimization, reporters from Good Morning America, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CBS News and Ski Magazine found out about the organization and ran articles and TV segments.  This intense media interest sparked a book offer from Doubleday Religion, who published Rabbi Korngold's best-selling book, God in the Wilderness, in April 2008.

Finkelstein has been featured in The New York Times as a Web Guru, and his company has received numerous awards, including the prestigious 2008 Rocky Mountain Direct Marketing Association Supplier of the Year Award.  His images have been published in hundreds of publications throughout the US, Canada and Japan, and has received paid contracts for his images by the National Geographic organization.  Two of his images were recently placed on permanent display in a Daniel Libeskind-designed museum in San Francisco. 

Finkelstein lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife and two daughters.
