About Taglit birthright israel

Taglit-birthright israel provides a gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26.

Taglit-birthright israel's founders created this initial five-year project to send 100,000 young adult Jews from all over the world to Israel as a gift in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world; to strengthen the sense of solidarity between Israeli youth and Jewish communities throughout the world; to increase the number of return visits to Israel; and to promote the role of Israel as a powerful resource in Jewish learning.

Taglit-birthright israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, local Jewish communities (North American Jewish Federations through the United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod, and The Jewish Agency for Israel), and the birthright israel Foundation, generously supported by the following Jewish philanthropic partners: S.
