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
