Register Now for Birthright Israel

Can you imagine anything better than traveling through Israel with a group of your peers from Miami? Applications are now being accepted for this summer’s Miami community Birthright Israel trip, June 15-26. For 10 days, young adults ages 22-26 will explore all Israel has to offer, make cross-cultural friendships and learn about the important connection between Israel and the Diaspora. Participants will gain a firsthand perspective on the complex history of the Middle East and grapple with the ongoing geopolitical conflict. Plus, they will visit our partner city of Yerucham to witness how our two cities work together to develop people-to-people relationships. Click here for more information and to register.
