Taglit-Birthright Israel: [from the website]

Taglit-Birthright Israel provides the gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26.

Taglit-Birthright Israel's founders created this program to send thousands of young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel as a gift in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world; to strengthen the sense of solidarity among world Jewry; and to strengthen participants' personal Jewish identity and connection to the Jewish people.

USC Hillel has sent students on the Taglit-Birthright Israel trip in both the winter and summer sessions.  Hillel at USC is fortunate enough to be sending over double the amount of students as last summer.  

USC Hillel will send you on an unforgettable 10-day FREE trip to Israel this summer courtesy of Taglit-Birthright Israel!

To register please visit www.freeisraeltrip.org on February 17th. 

There is a $250 deposit that is required.  That deposit is FULLY refundable whether you get on the trip or not.*    So even if you aren’t sure about your summer plans, there is nothing to lose by registering!!

For more information on how to navigate the registration process, or understand your options during the summer, please feel free to contact Alex K at alex@uschillel.org.

(* The only time you might lose your deposit is if you accept the trip, the airline tickets you and then you cancel.  That whole thing costs a lot of money so they sometimes feel that keeping the deposit is justified.  Sound fair?)
