More than just a free trip to Israel!

 

Birthright Israel began with a bold idea—offering a free, life-changing trip to Israel for young Jewish adults between the ages of 18 and 26 and, in doing so, transforming the Jewish future.

 

Our mission is to provide all young Jewish adults with opportunities for transformative and immersive shared experiences in Israel and a foundation for ongoing Jewish connection.

 

Today, Birthright Israel is the largest educational tourism organization in the world that has given over 800,000 journeys to the magical state of Israel.

 

800,000 unique moments of self-discovery and life-long friendships.

 

From life-changing Shabbats to Dead Sea swims to mountain hikes and so much more.

 

The trip is impactful, leaving you different than before.

It is given freely, with no expectation of anything in return.

Most importantly, it is personal, like the best gifts always are.

 

 

Birthright Israel also offers other opportunities in Israel such as:
