Birthright: Travel to Israel this winter!

We’re excited to announce a Boston-area young adult (22-26 year old) Taglit-Birthright trip!  This February, join us on this 10-day, absolutely free trip to Israel.  Travel is provided by Union for Reform Judaism Kesher, which is an official Birthright provider.  

Kesher is Hebrew for “connection.” Joining a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip with URJ Kesher is about connecting with Israel on a meaningful level -- the people, the history and the land itself. The URJ Kesher program offers a unique opportunity to experience Israel through a progressive lens. Learn about the challenges of pluralism in Israel, connect with the leaders who embody the spirit of contemporary Zionism, and give something back on a meaningful service project. 

This trip will also not end when you land back in the States. This experience is being supported by several local reform congregations, and will be led by a local area rabbi.    The connections you make on Birthright are sure to remain a connection back home. 

Email a colleague of Rabbi Saphire, Rabbi Neil Hirsch at nhirsch@templeshalom.org to apply, to ask questions, and to get on board today. More information can also be found at www.gokesher.org.
