Sukkot—the holiday of gathering. No matter where in the world you are, people will be by your side, celebrating in many different ways. And of course, there is no better place to celebrate Sukkot than in Israel, the best and biggest “sukkah” of them all!
 
Make this Sukkot special and exciting at the many different activities going on all over Israel.

Shalom! I’m Carly Weiss, a senior at the Pennsylvania State University, my major is Advertising and my minor is International Studies! Throughout my entire life I have been extremely involved in my Jewish community. After going on Birthright I immediately fell in love with Israel’s culture and beauty. 
 
After that trip I realized I had to go study abroad in Tel Aviv, Israel. I spent five wonderful months there, that’s where I first encountered Masa, and all the wonderful things they do to help aid students in trips to Israel. Now I currently am a campus representative for Masa, and I get to help others like me have an amazing experience I had.

I recently returned from from Israel after spending five incredible months studying at Tel Aviv University. I consider that time one of the best in my life , and I hope that as a Masa intern I can encourage fellow students to seek similar opportunities!

Shalom! My name is Noah Arber and I am a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park originally from Rockville, Maryland. I am a Jewish Studies major and hoping to go into Jewish Education and Jewish communal work after I graduate.
 
I am very excited to be UMD Hillel's Masa Intern for this year! I have had many incredible experiences throughout my life in Israel and especially this past semester when I studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with the help of Masa. I hope to encourage and inspire others to go to Israel and create their own incredible memories by sharing my own love for the country, its culture, and the Jewish people.
