Miami Community Birthright Israel Trip Applications Now Open

Applications are now being accepted for the Miami community Birthright Israel trip, June 13-24. This is the last chance for young adults ages 27-32 to experience the sights, sounds and energy of the Jewish homeland, as the organization is discontinuing experiences for this cohort. For 10 days, they will explore all Israel has to offer and make cross-cultural friendships with their Israeli peers. Plus, they will visit our partner city of Yerucham to see firsthand how our two cities work together to develop people-to-people relationships. And who knows? Participants may even fall in love! Just ask Miami natives Mike Serviansky and Lindsay Kaufman, who met during their 2019 Birthright trip and are now planning a May wedding! Click here for more information and to register. For additional questions, please contact Rachel Altfield at [email protected].
