1. Our Prayer
HSI F uay- ach 20
ebr r M r 12

2. Thank you all for being my
family away from family.

3. I'm so thankful for each and
every one of you and I'm glad
I've made friends that I know
I'll have for the rest of my life

4. Thank you all for putting up
with my sarcastic remarks and
impressively loud belches.
You are all beautiful and
special in your own way.
As the notorious simple minds
once said “don’t you forget
about me”

5. HSI for me is the greatest
experience I’ve ever had

6. I cam e to this p rogram to escap e m y
life at hom e, now, just 2 m onths
later; I ’m leaving with 2 3 am azing
new friend s and an exp erience that
I ’ll rem em ber for the rest of m y life

7. I came here expecting to learn about Judaism
and I’m leaving with an even bigger Jewish
family

8. I came into this so scared and
worried about not having any
friends and now I’ve made
friendships to last a lifetime

9. I came to Israel to find myself…
I found 23 amazing people as well

10. The friends I made here
are going to be my family
forever and I don’t want it
to end

11. People come into your life for a
reason, a season, or a lifetime

12. HSI has been a blast
I can’t believe it went by so
fast
Hiking and laughing together
I’ll miss it when it has
passed

13. HSI has been a truly
incredible experience

14. These two months have
changed my life…
Forever

15. Muss is where the heart is.
My life, my home, my love.

16. Muss is where I discovered
my love for Israel

17. F or m e , th e d e s e rt’s s ile nce
am p lifie d m y own inne r voice

18. Nowhere else have I
connected to others and
gotten so emotionally
close with my peers

19. We’ve made memories together in
Israel that will last forever
Even if we didn’t always have the
best weather

20. I learned that it’s possible to
never stop eating for two
months straight

21. From coffee at Ofers to nap time on
the bus
You’ll never forget 2012 Muss

22. Every time you come to Israel
you'll remember this,
You'll think of all the
memories with such fond bliss

23. We had such great times with
Alon and Nirit
no other madrichim are so sweet

24. I've learned a lot about myself
throughout these two months. It
was hard for me to believe
people when they told me that
this was going to change me
and make me a stronger person,
but it truly has.

25. AMHSI made me look at my
country in a tourist’s eyes and fall
in love with her all over again

26. HSI is what you make of it
If you want it to change your
life,
It will

27. HSI to me is treasuring these
moments forever because they
will soon be gone

28. I know these have been some of the
best weeks of my life because they’ve
also been some of the fastest. It’s like
we’ve been here forever, but I can’t
believe it’s almost over. I love you
guys and I’m going to miss you all so
much!

29. A few months ago I found love…it was
amazing…actually. Doesn’t happen a
lot. But then we broke-up, she left me
and the future looked pale, loveless -
so sad and empty. I asked myself,
who will fill the void, how can I love
again? But then you, HSI came into
my life and gave me light once again.
Hope, smiles, laughs and so much
love, like I never thought I could have.
HSI, I love you truly.

30. I L OV E YOU A L L !
