Free Trip to Israel
January 2013 - Travel for 10 days in Israel with other UMass students. FREE!
Who is eligible?
All Jewish students between the age of 18 and 26 who have at least one
Jewish parent or grandparent and have never been to Israel on an
organized trip before, can go on the FREE 10-day Birthright Israel trip
together with other UMass Jewish students during Winter Break, 2013!
What is it?
Birthright is a totally free 10 day trip to Israel for young Jews who
have never been on an organized trip to Israel before. We tour around
this fascinating tiny country and see the heights of the desert fortress
of Masada, float in the Dead Sea, be inspired at the Western Wall and
remember the tragedy of the holocaust at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. We'll
hike and swim in the beautiful north, go kayaking in the Jordan River,
and see the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). We also get a chance to spend a
night under the stars in Bedouin tents in the desert. Discover Israel,
connect with Judaism in whatever way feels right and make friends who
will last you a lifetime!
How do I sign up! Registration for the January trip begins on September 12 directly from www.AwesomeIsrael.com
and on September 10 for those waitlisted from previous trips.
