Another Israel Trip Please

– By Gabby Hergt, Alumna & Trip Staff

Two weeks ago was the culmination of a portion of my journey that started almost two years ago. It has been my personal blessing to have been able to experience four amazing Israel trips with Birthright Israel. My first trip in 2013 was the start of a life-long love affair with a country that has become, in my heart, soul, and spirit, my home and people who have become my friends and family. Since returning to Israel three more times as a counselor, Birthright has offered me a view of Israel as both a participant and as a leader. These have both been invaluable to my personal growth and learning of Israel.

The beginning of my trips always starts with me telling the participants why I chose to lead. I explain to them that my reason is not for a free flight, delicious food, and gorgeous Israeli boys, but rather because of the personal fulfillment that I gain by helping each participant fall in love with Israel. Being able to show my participants Israel through my eyes and heart and at the same time being able to see Israel through their eyes and heart brings me closer to my community, my homeland of Israel, and the spirit that binds us all.

The experience of Birthright is the vessel which plants the seeds of culture within your heart, reconnects you with the roots from which your family originated and allows you to understand how these roots have blossomed your family. This experience is invaluable for the future and survival of the very traditions, culture, and religion for which this trip is dedicated to support. Although the trip is free for participants, the cost of such an experience does exist; a staggering $3,000 per participant. These costs include round-trip airfare, accommodations, meals, in-country travel, guides, security, and entrances into various historical sites and museums. The funding is provided by many generous private donors and the State of Israel herself.

I have been fortunate enough to receive not one, but four of the best gifts I could have ever asked for. This means that I have been given trips valued at $12,000 in addition to my priceless experiences. Now I feel that it is my time to give back. Therefore I ask that you would consider making a donation to Birthright Israel. If I can help fund just one person to experience their gift and help them find their passion: Dayeinu, it would have been enough.

We love sharing the adventure
