TAGLIT-BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL

About Taglit-Birthright Israel
Taglit-Birthright Israel
began in 2000 and since then over 14,000 Jewish Canadians between the ages of 18–26 have traveled to Israel, joining 145,000 young adults from around the world on the trip of a lifetime. You travel with people just like you on a 10-day trip that introduces you to the marvels of Israel and connects you to your global and local Jewish community.

Taglit-Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, local Jewish communities (United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod, and the Jewish Agency for Israel), and leading Jewish philanthropists. Taglit-Birthright Israel provides a gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 – 26.

Upon your return from Taglit-Birthright Israel
Taglit-Birthright Israel is a life-changing experience, touching each individual in a very unique way. Returning to Canada doesn’t mean that this amazing experience has to end.  There are many ways for you to deepen your connection with Israel through your local community, exciting alumni events and programs. We would love to hear all about your trip and share in your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
