Description
Thirty years ago, Rabbi Meir Schuster founded the Heritage House to serve as a center for visitors to Israel interested in learning more about their Jewish heritage. Its modest beginnings stemmed from the traffic he generated by approaching backpackers at the Western Wall. Today, the Heritage House is an international organization, which supports a plethora of activities designed to turn ignorance and apathy into knowledge of Jewish practice and pride in Jewish heritage.
Heritage House operates two youth hostels (heritage.org.il) in the picturesque Old City of Jerusalem, reaching tourists and encouraging them to turn their trip into an unforgettable spiritual experience. Offering free, clean and modern facilities, Heritage House has welcomed more than 28,000 guests with warm hospitality, tours, classes, and our inspiring Shabbat program. The hostels' lectures, videos and discussion groups provide a common ground for discussing issues in an open, non-threatening atmosphere. And with a referral service to Jewish educational programs throughout Israel, Heritage House provides an invaluable springboard for thousands of people to learn more about Judaism.
Finally, Heritage House provides a follow-up network, whereby staff in North America, England and South Africa provide the ability for continuity of experience in the student's home country by offering educational seminars and Shabbat hospitality.
