Campaign Update

Our campaign remains on track to be our strongest yet, backed by strategic philanthropic investments in Israel’s future and Zionist engagement. A powerful example of this is our Alexander Muss High School in Israel (Muss), which for over 50 years has been shaping Jewish lives. As an alumnus, my time at Muss fundamentally changed how I view myself as a Zionist and my responsibility to our community. That transformation is reflected in the more than $90 million in lifetime giving that Muss families have contributed to Jewish National Fund-USA.

At Muss, students learn Zionist history where it unfolded and alumni emerge as leaders, inspired to invest in the land and people of Israel through Jewish National Fund-USA—proof that immersive Jewish education creates lifelong commitment and connection to Israel.
