Yocheved (Judith) Herschlag (Muffs) , was born in 1926 in Queens, NY. She joined Ha-Shomer ha-Dati, a religious kibbutz-oriented Zionist youth group, and went to their training farm in upstate NY in 1946. In 1947, when she was nineteen, she immigrated illegally to British-controlled Palestine with the famed Exodus ship. She settled with her garin [aliyah group] at a kibbutz. The kibbutz fought off several Arab attacks during the Israeli War of Independence in 19471949. Judith Herschlag served as a messenger during times of alert, learning to throw grenades and to shoot. Shortly after her return to the United States in late 1949, she started to work for Young Judaea, an educational movement for Zionist youth. She first served as a group leader and then, beginning in 1954, as national program director. Eventually, she wrote five volumes of Judaean Leaves, a program guide for group leaders. While she worked at Young Judaea, she returned to university studies. In 1970, she married Rabbi Yochanan Muffs, Distinguished Service Professor of Bible studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Throughout her entire professional career, Muffs has striven to promote love of Judaism among Jewish young people, and understanding of Judaism among those of other faiths. , SUBJECT(S) : Jews --- youth --- Zionism.
