Birthright participants visit Eretz Carmel - an environmental grantee in the Galilee.

“Discover Israel: Peace, Pluralism, and Social Justice” is a free, ten-day Taglit Birthright-Israel trip coordinated by the New Israel Fund, the Union of Progressive Zionists, and Israel Experts. This unique Taglit Birthright-Israel option explores the country from a progressive perspective, focusing on both domestic social and political issues as well as larger questions of a just and lasting peace for Jews and Arabs both.  In addition to visiting all the major sites and cities in Israel, the trip includes fascinating encounters with Israeli activists and non-government organizations working for minority rights, environmental justice, gender equality, religious pluralism, and peace in the region.

Due to Birthright's reduction in trip offerings, these trips are postponed until further notice. To be notified when another trip is scheduled, please email Ben Murane, benm@nif.org. If you are 26 years old and about to age out of eligibility, we recommend Israel Experts and Authentic Israel's trips.

Taglit-Birthright Israel offers a free, ten-day trip to Israel for participants between the ages of 18-26 who have never traveled to Israel on a peer group program.  Visit www.birthrightisrael.com  for more information.  Please direct any questions about the “Peace, Pluralism, and Social Justice” trip to Ben Murane, benm@nif.org or call 212-613-4407.
