Taglit-Birthright Israel: An Educational Journey Of Jewish Identity

I never imagined that a trip across the world to a foreign country with dozens of strangers could be as life-changing as it was. In March, I was selected to participate in a free 10-day trip to Israel referred to as Taglit-Birthright Israel, or Birthright. The program included round-trip airfare, touring of Israel, local health insurance, site entrance fees, hotel accommodations, transportation and two meals per day.
