Taglit-Birthright Israel

Taglit-Birthright Israel is an innovative partnership between the people of Israel through the Government of Israel, private philanthropists through the Birthright Israel Foundation and Jewish communities around the world. Through this, Taglit-Birthright Israel provides a gift of a free 10-day educational tour of Israel for young Jewish adults aged 18-26 who have never before participated in a peer-group educational trip to Israel.

The ZFA, together with the support and the initiative of the Keren Hayesod, is proud to represent the Australian Jewish community as the local partner in this exciting and ambitious project. The ZFA works in partnership with AUJS and Chabad on Campus to operate Taglit-Birthright Israel. By the end of 2010, over 3000 participants will have traveled from Australia on Taglit-Birthright Israel program.
