What will I experience on Birthright?
You'll learn about the country's history, culture and politics and make new friends along the way. As well as meeting new people from the UK, you will have the chance to get to know young Israelis from a cross-section of society including Druze, Bedouins, Arabs and Jews.

Taglit-Birthright Israel welcomes people from all backgrounds.

Here's a taste of what you'll experience:

• Two thousand years of Jewish history at the Western Wall and Masada
• The nightlife of Tel Aviv, the city that never sleeps
• Sleeping under the stars in a Bedouin tent
• Floating in the mineral-rich Dead Sea
• Option to stay on in Israel after the trip.

Am I eligible?
The answer is 'Yes' if you are aged 21-26 (20-26 for student trip), have never been to Israel on an organized programme and have at least one Jewish parent or grandparent.

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.
