Taglit-Birthright Israel provides a gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26 from around the world. Taglit-Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, leading Jewish philanthropists, and local Jewish communities and Jewish Federations (through the United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod and The Jewish Agency for Israel). With the UChicago twist, we guarantee your free 10-day trip to the Eastern  Mediterranean Seaboard will be filled with friends, fund and PLENTY OF INTENSE DEBATE!

Israel...Ten days...Forty new friends...Free...Any questions?

Taglit-Birthright Israel provides the gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26. In the past two years, UChicago’s Newberger Hillel has brought over 80  students to Israel, designing our trip to have a unique UChicago twist as we engage our students in dialogue about Israeli sights, culture, history and politics. See the sights. Eat the food. Meet the people. Pay nothing.

We are taking 40 U of C students to Israel this August!  Our next trip is tentatively set for late August 2011. To sign up next year, visit www.freeisraeltrip.org  We stress however, that you DON’T wait too long to sign up because these seats go fast!

Curious? Concerned? Excited? Contact Leah at lmkchicago@gmail.com for more information on how to make this trip happen for you.
