Founded 25 years ago by Rabbi Meir Schuster, Heritage House Jewish Outreach Youth Hostels are cost-free and have a "homey" atmosphere, allowing guests to extend their time in Israel, and helping them find options in their fields of interest, making Heritage House a catalyst to many making aliyah.

Every year, hundred of non-affiliated Jews experience their first meaningful encounter with Judaism through the Heritage House:

75% of our guests go on to learn more and are inspired to be connected.
80% choose to join one of our follow-up programs, through which we connect around the world with families for Shabbat, and opportunites to learn further in their home communities.
Many of our guests return to learn or become Jewishly affiliated through the follow-up.
