Taglit - Birthright Israel
The Taglit-Birthright Israel trip is a gift of 10 introductory days in Israel, providing a first-time, peer group, educational experience in Israel, for young Jewish adults between the ages of 18-26 (17 if a high school graduate). This unique introductory tour is designed to inspire participants and give them a stronger connection to the Jewish people, Jewish life and to the Jewish land of Israel all while having a great time. Together with other young Australians, you will be sure to enjoy the touring, spiritual and educational activities.
Taglit-Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, local Jewish communities, and leading Jewish philanthropists. The ZFA, with the support and initiative of the United Israel Appeal, is proud to represent the Australian Jewish community as the local partner in this ambitious project.
