How Is The Trip Free?
Believe it! There's no strings attached!
Imagine this: You have a boisterous and vivacious extended family overseas that you've never met. And you, with
your busy schedule and relentless multi-tasking, may never get to meet them unless someone comes along and says:
STOP!... Take a deep breath... Grab a flight... Go and meet them... and I'll pick up the tab!
In essence, this is exactly what the State of Israel, your local Jewish community and some very generous Jewish
philanthropists are saying to you - we'll pick up the tab if you just take 10 days out of your life to meet your family -
and in the process, discover yourself.
This is when you ask: "Great, but what's the catch?"
Another good question, and here is the answer: No catch, nada, nothing, zilch, zero!
In fact, the only action the sponsors of this free trip would like you to do upon your return is to let others know of its
existence, so they too can experience the Taglit-Birthright Israel gift.
Hard to believe, but those are the facts!
Taglit-Birthright Israel is an innovative partnership between the people of Israel through the Government of Israel,
private philanthropists, local Jewish communities (North American Jewish Federations through the United Jewish Communities,
Keren Hayesod, and The Jewish Agency for Israel).
To date, over 250,000 young adults from around the world have taken advantage of a Taglit-Birthright
Israel sponsored trip opportunity.
The Taglit-Birthright Israel gift covers roundtrip airfare plus ten days of accomodations and unique
travel programming in Israel. Any Jewish young adult in the 18-26 age range who has never before visited
Israel on a peer-group program is eligible for the gift regardless of financial or religious background.
