20 Best Taglit-Birthright Israel Instagram Pictures

Without a picture did a moment really happen? A good photograph keeps a moment from running away. On Mayanot: Taglit-Birthright Israel, we pack so much adventure into just 10 days that it can all begin to seem like a blur. We have collected the 20 best Instagram photos from the Winter '14 season, all of them amazing moments, now frozen in time, to show you what Mayanot is all about.
