About the Miami Community Trip
Miami Community Trips are based on the core Israel Quest itinerary – a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip designed for those with a spirit for adventure – and are often tailored with special events or lectures to enhance the group experience. Miami residents enjoy:
• Visiting Israel’s major touring sites, including Jerusalem, Masada, Tzfat, the Dead Sea, Tel Aviv, Jaffa, the Golan and the Sea of Galilee
• Cultural experiences, such as a Bedouin tent dinner feast, a night on the town in Tel Aviv, an evening of modern Israeli music, and shopping at a local artists’ colony
• The opportunity to connect with other Jewish young adults from their region
• Meeting, interacting and forming relationships with Israeli peers on leave from the army and universities
• Top-notch staff, including accredited Israeli outdoor guides/educators and dynamic North American chaperones from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation
The Federation Commitment
After participants return to Miami, Federation also encourages them to remain connected with one another through Birthright group reunions, and offers them many opportunities to get involved in the Jewish community through the Young Leadership Division, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s Under-40 Connection.
Taglit-Birthright Israel is an international program that offers free trips to Israel for all Jewish young adults, ages 18 to 26, post high school, who have neither traveled to Israel before on a peer educational trip or study program nor have lived in Israel past the age of 12. Since the program’s inception in 2000, more than 5,500 people from Miami have participated in Taglit-Birthright Israel trips.
The Annual Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign provides a yearly allocation to the Birthright Israel Foundation, helping to make the trip possible for Miami-Dade County residents. In order to strengthen ties between Miami and Israel and build a strong Jewish future, Federation provides a wide range of Israel programs for interested Miami residents.
