household and attending 
Jewish day school, she dis-
covered newfound knowledge 
while living in Israel for four 
months. In this time, she was 
able to take a deep dive into 
Israel’s immersive culture, 
with Muss using the Land of 
Israel as a living and breath-
ing classroom. 
“What impacted me was 
talking about the political 
situation on the ground,” 
she says. “I feel like before, I 
was sheltered, and I was only 
learning one side. But Muss 
allowed us to take the time to 
hear from all perspectives.” 
Throughout the program, 
Tali also enjoyed taking 
Hebrew classes. “My Hebrew 
was more advanced than a 
little over a majority of my 
classmates,” she says. “I took 
Hebrew since kindergarten 
but, going into high school, I 

lost some of it. It was nice to 
have a refresher.” 
The program also offered 
various levels of Hebrew for dif-
ferent Hebrew proficiencies. 
Not only was Tali intrigued 
by the coursework at Muss, 
but she was also excited to 
experience Israel’s beauty 
firsthand while traveling with 
her Israeli studies teachers. 
 One of Tali’s best memo-
ries from Muss was traveling 
to Jerusalem and seeing the 
Old City for the first time. 
Tali recalls all of the stu-
dents being blindfolded and 
escorted onto a bus. Once 
the bus came to a halt, every-
one formed a trust walk. 
Upon removing their blind-
folds, the sunset elegantly 
dawned over Jerusalem as the 
group chanted the popular 
song, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav 
(Jerusalem of Gold). 

“I think for everyone, this 
was a powerful moment. We 
barely even knew each other 
because we were just coming 
out of quarantine, but we 
were all still so connected. 
I think that was the best 
moment for me,” she says. 
Tali hopes to someday 
return to Israel, furthering 
her Judaic studies with a col-
lege study abroad program. 
In the meantime, she remains 
connected through weekly 
celebration of Shabbat with 
her family, summers at Camp 
Ramah, and keeping updat-
ed on Israeli current affairs. 
Additionally, she plans to 
have an active Jewish life on 
campus when she starts col-
lege in the fall. 
Tali encourages other stu-
dents to take advantage of a 
gap semester at Muss. 
 “I would 100% recommend 

the program to friends,” she 
says. “I feel like Muss gives 
you everything you need back 
in America. All the classes 
you need to take are synced 
with everyone else at home. 
You get to meet a whole new 
group of people from all dif-
ferent backgrounds. 
 “I met my best friends 
on Muss, my college room-
mate for next year, and even 
created special one-on-one 
relationships with many of 
the teachers there. These rela-
tionships will shape the rest 
of my life, and I couldn’t be 
more grateful for that.” 

Alexander Muss High School in Israel 
offers both semesters abroad in Israel 
and summer programs. For more
