One Trip Changes Eveything
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.
While our iconic 10-Day program remains at the heart of what we do, Birthright Israel has grown into a family of experiences from volunteering and internships to career development and immersive programs giving participants of different ages and interests meaningful ways to connect with Israel and the Jewish community.
Today, Birthright Israel is the largest educational tourism organization in the world that has given over 900,000 journeys to the magical state of Israel. Each journey includes:
