HSI in the News

When I arrived at Ben Gurion airport I felt as if I hadn’t left the United States.

After my first month here, I am finally feeling a little bit like a true Israeli.

In Israel, I would say “Shabbat Shalom.”

Before I left for Israel, my peers at school had many questions. “Are Israelis very different from Americans?”

Coming to Israel I was expecting a huge culture shock but to my surprise it’s been a pretty easy transition.

This past month, living in Israel, has been an amazing and eye-opening experience.

I am excited to find more differences between Israel and America in my last month of studying here.

It’s 7:00 in the morning and I’ve been hiking up a mountain for about an hour.

I am in love with this country!!

I am excited for this week, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us!

Alexander Muss is very different from my school at home in a variety of ways.

Having Israel as my classroom is an awesome and exciting experience.

The best part about our core class is that we get to use Israel as our classroom.

One of the most unique things about Alexander Muss High School in Israel are the Tiyulim.

This week’s blog is about my “living classroom.”

The grass is my chair, the rocks are my desk and the mountains are my white-board.

Israel is a place of love, but also a place of contrast, and a place of pride.

Since I arrived in Israel, there have been hundreds of memorable and inspiring moments.

So many of the crazy moments we have had here could have only happened in Israel.

Israel is a very small country, which means that every bit of land has a unique importance.
