As age increases, responsibilities do too, which is why it’s crucial to travel as much as possible in your 20s - while your standards are low and your spirits are high. Time will never turn back, so fly freely and take advantage of every hop, skip, and jump you can manage.

Why Israel? You’ve heard about it. You may have been here before. But there is NOTHING like seeing the Land of Milk & Honey with your own 2 eyes. And with a group full of like minded people with which to explore.

Nothing is more venturous than the desire to see the world. We weren’t born with worldly knowledge and sometimes, Google images just don't suffice. Life is about new discoveries, new experiences and diving into new worlds. The more you explore, the more you know.

Why Israel? For a country smaller than New Jersey, there are limitless possibilities of To Do’s. From the Western Wall to the walls filled with colorful graffiti, 10 days is only the tip of what exists to discover in the Holy Land.

Time to jump into life! Experiencing new people and places will inspire endless amounts of new thoughts and feelings within your mind, body, and soul. Travel inspires dreamers to dream, bakers to bake, and dancers to shake. It inspires passion, joy, power, and most of all action.

Why Israel? There is only one Jewish State. If you are open to learning and connecting with yourself, you are bound to encounter new views on her religion, history, culture and how it might relate to you. You might not – but at least you ate real mouth watering Middle Eastern hummus.

Travelers hit the road with open minds and curiosity, and return with friendships and memories from all over the world. Whether on your own or in a group, being at the same place at the same time is all you need to make a connection. Bonus: You have friends to visit on your next worldly trip!

Why Israel? Our people are friendly and curious. They already think of you as family, and will definitely act like it. And that’s not including the 40 bus mates that will become your new Birthright family.

For every new place you visit, mountain you climb, and native you meet, your mind is enriched with possibility and understanding. ‘The bigger picture’ becomes clear as you get involved with how other cultures live and get along. As a world traveler, you choose how to see the world, instead of relying on others opinions and theories.

Why Israel? The media abroad has done wonders in building a certain perception of Israel and its people. An enigma yes, but once you get a view from the inside, you will understand what the outside never will.
