Birthright Israel is an innovative partnership between the Government of Israel, private philanthropists, and thousands of donors and Jewish communities around the world, including North American Jewish Federations through the Jewish Federations of North America, the Jewish Agency for Israel, and Keren Hayesod. Since 1999, more than 600,000 young adults from 67 countries have taken advantage of a Birthright Israel sponsored trip opportunity.
Shorashim is all about enabling Jewish young adults from North America to have fun, educational, and meaningful experiences in Israel. Behind our vast activities stands two independent organizations: Shoreshim, Inc., d/b/a Shorashim, Inc., which is a non-profit registered in the US that publicizes the trips, recruits participants, and coordinates with participants up until their departure for Israel; and, Shorashim Tochniot Mifgash which is a non-profit registered in Israel that operates the trips on the ground in Israel.
