Last Chance for Young Adults to Experience Birthright Israel

Young adults, ages 27-32, can explore Israel this summer with the Miami community Birthright Israel trip. Applications are now being accepted for the unique journey, June 12-23. Float in the Dead Sea, watch the sunrise from Masada, raft down the Jordan River, cool off under a desert waterfall, learn about Federation’s work in its partner city Yerucham and more as you develop cross-cultural friendships with Israeli peers. This is the last chance for young adults ages 27-32 to enjoy a Birthright Israel trip, as the organization is discontinuing experiences for this cohort.
