birthright israel is a unique, historical partnership
between the people of Israel through their government, local Jewish communities
(through the United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod and The Jewish Agency
for Israel), and leading Jewish philanthropists.
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.
birthright israel participants come from: Argentina,
Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Byelorussia, Canada, Chile, France, Georgia,
Germany, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Morocco, New
Zealand, Paraguay, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States,
