Birthright Israel provides the gift of peer-group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26. Birthright Israel's founders created this program to send young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel in order to strengthen the sense of solidarity between Israel and Jewish communities throughout the world. As a participant, you will travel throughout the country, exploring sites of historic, cultural, and religious significance, as well as hiking and taking in Israel’s varied landscape and nature. Additionally, Israeli peers will join you for a significant part of the trip, introducing you to popular culture, music, food and what it’s like to live in Israel. Plus, you may even become lifelong friends!
