Since 1985 The Rabbi Meir Schuster Heritage House, thanks to generous donors like you, has inspired tens of thousands of individuals helping them to discover Judaism and forge a personal and real relationship with the land of Israel and the Jewish people.
In 2015, we opened ‘Way More Israel’ a professional internship program where we set up young aspiring Jews with top internships in Jerusalem in the field of their choice. In addition to staying in the Old City, they get to explore the depth, wisdom, and relevance of Judaism.
Join us and become a partner in making this next Way More Israel happen. Shape a vibrant Jewish future of knowledgeable, passionate, and proud Jews.
