AUJS Israel Programs
 |
| For almost half a century, the Australasian Union of Jewish Students has played a pivotal role in short and long term Israel programs which now send hundreds of Jewish students to our homeland every year. We're back in 2008, bigger than ever! We have more options available, so you can choose your ideal Israel experience. This year, in addition to Aviv, Birthright, LDP and The Poland Heritage Tour, AUJS is excited to celebrate the 45th year of the Academy program. AUJS Academy has become a landmark for Israel Programs in Australia and is being developed again with more special interest weeks & new exciting options. |

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.
