Birthright

Taglit is the Hebrew word for 'discovery'.

The Birthright Israel program was initiated in 1994 and is funded by private donors, The Jewish Agency for Israel and the Israeli Government.  To be eligible you have to have at least one parent of recognized Jewish descent, or who have converted to Judaism through a recognized Jewish movement and be between the ages of 18 and 27.

As of 2022, more than 800,000 participants from 68 countries had participated in a Birthright tour. 

A Birthright Israel trip includes airfare from a major gateway city, room, board and transportation associated with touring the country for a ten-day trip.
