Top Shlichim Offer Recruiting Advice

Jan

One of Shorashim’s most successful ventures is our “Shaliach Program,” where former Taglit-Birthright Israel participants recruit participants for future trips and compete for awards and prizes.

You might be asking yourself, “Should I sign up to be a Shaliach?” Shorashim’s answer would be “absolutely.” There is nothing to lose and no commitment if you find that you’re not up to it. But we figured that you would want to hear from actual recruiters so that you know exactly what you are getting into if you choose to sign up.

Sign up now to be a Shorashim Shaliach!

Aug

As our summer Taglit-Birthright Israel season comes to an end, Shorashim is so grateful to all of our partner organizations, staff, and most of all to our participants who registered with Shorashim last February and for the past 22 Taglit-Birthright Israel seasons.

Now is your chance to “pay it forward” by telling your friends and family to sign up for a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip with Shorashim. Only you know how awesome of an experience it is to spend 10 days living in Israel seeing the country through the eyes of Israeli peers.

Why Travel?

Sep

You know how every job has its busy times and slow times? After Labor Day, one of Shorashim’s two busiest times of the year begins. Our phones ring off the hook and our necks stiffen as we answer them. We swim through our inboxes racing to answer emails. Our fingers sprint to chat with 18 to 26 year olds across the country (and their parents).
