The Muss Alumni Hub

Being at Muss helped transform me into a leader. Not only through independence, but through actual leadership opportunities and being able to own different projects.

My educational experience at Muss was extremely different from my experience at home. We learn in the classroom, but then we actually get to go and see it, which makes it way more meaningful and special.

Since coming to Muss, I have never felt homesick once. Muss feels like home and I wish I never had to leave.

My life changed in so many positive ways when I returned from Muss. I found that when I went to college, I was so much more prepared to live on my own and be independent from my experience living in the Muss dorms.

Before Muss, I had grown up in a really secular community, but after engaging with so many diverse Jewish communities in Israel, I began to understand the importance of being unified across identities.

Living at Muss was like living in the history of the Jewish people. We didn't just learn about the Holocaust, we learned about the Jewish diaspora and the triumph of over 3,000 years of our people’s story and origins in Israel.

Learning history while standing in the places where it actually happened changed everything for me. Muss made what we studied feel real and personal, not just something from a textbook. It's a completely different way of learning that I'll never forget.
