Israel Travel

A record 23,500 Jewish young adults are expected to visit Israel this summer as part of Taglit birthright, israel's free 10-day educational trips. The expected income for tourism from these trips this summer is estimated at approximately $47.5 million, according to a report by the Jerusalem Post.

The 23,500 participants, between the ages of 18 and 26 and from 35 countries worldwide, will visit Israel between May 1 and August 21, 2007. Taglit-birthright israel's founders created this program to send thousands of young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel as a gift in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world and  to learn about the State of Israel.

The gift of the 10-day trip is being provided by our partners: the people of Israel through the Government of Israel, North American Jewish Federations through the United Jewish Communities (UJC), and leading Jewish private philanthropists like, Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Edgar M. Bronfman and Ron Lauder.

Since the establishment of Taglit-birthright israel almost seven years ago, more than 123,000 young adults from 51 countries have visited Israel through the program and over $227 million in tourism revenues has been created.
