Taglit-Birthright Israel is the most extensive philanthropic Jewish outreach programme ever to target Jewish young adults. Philanthropists Charles R. Bronfman and Michael H. Steinhardt created this project to send thousands of young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel as a gift in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world; to strengthen the sense of solidarity between Israeli youth and Jewish communities around the world; to increase the number of return visits to Israel; and to promote the role of Israel as a powerful resource in Jewish learning.

Taglit-Birthright Israel believes that it is every Jewish person's birthright to visit Israel. To date, over 200,000 young adults have travelled to Israel on the programme.
