HSI in the News

We’ve been getting settled in and learning about how our next two months are going to be.

Wow! I am finally in Israel.

We, as Jews, have a vast and complicated history.

One week into my AMHSI journey, I am kind of surprised about my feelings so far.

Here we saw what Jerusalem looked like during the time of the second temple.

It had helped me feel more connected to my people, and left me feeling more excited to learn.

Intimacy between myself and each layer of history

It’s been about a week since I left Israel, Alexander Muss High School, and my new family who I miss dearly.

I was obligated to bear clear witness to the ultimate tragedy.

After a week in Poland there is nothing I wanted more than to be in Israel.

Well, here I am. Back at home, back in reality.

It is hard to believe that I am sitting at the kitchen table writing my final blog from Lower Moreland, Pennsylvania.

Ancient history at Tel Gezer

The sun is setting on my fifth day in Israel as I write this blog post.

Cleaning our dorm was the first time it felt like I was truly leaving Israel and HSI.

As we pulled up to Majdanek, I understood why we were told to brace ourselves.

By visiting these camps it is more than blending the past with the present.

This past Sunday, our group departed for Poland.

The best feeling– landing back in Israel after being in Poland for a week.

They had experienced something so much greater than many high school kids had.
