Shaliach Recruiting Program Offers Prizes and Trips to Israel

Attention alumni and friends: Over the years, Shorashim has sent thousands of participants on the Taglit-Birthright Israel program. Now we need your help to pass the gift forward!
We want you to be a Shaliach (that's Hebrew for Ambassador) because only you know the importance of traveling with Israeli peers. With Shorashim, Israeli peers participate for the full length of the program. Do not let your friends travel on trips where the Israelis that "show you Israel" are the hired tour guides. Shorashim is truly "Israel with Israelis!"
