Are you a Jewish educator working in a part-time setting, who qualifies for a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip? Experience the awesome adventure of Israel from the inside, through the eyes and hearts of Israeli peers. Travel for 10-days with Israeli friends and staff who share the beauty, excitement and complexities of their country with you. Meet with Israeli figures that are shaping Israel today. Hike in spectacular nature areas of Israel. From a meeting with residents of the Golan, to Bedouin hospitality in the desert, from the liveliness of Tel Aviv, to the diversity and spirituality of Jerusalem, experience the history, the vibrancy and the challenges of modern Israel. Engage in a "green" community service project. Learn how to transfer all that you are seeing, doing and feeling back to your classroom. Develop a network of Israeli and American friends who are passionate about education, and have lots of fun.
An exception will be made for this trip for applicants over the age of 26, through age 29.
This program is conceived by and offered in partnership with PELIE (Partnership for Effective Learning and Innovative Education).
