Our Supporters
Taglit Birthright Israel is the most important Zionist project of the Jewish People in the 21st century.
Taglit’s mission is to instill in our children a Jewish soul, a sense of belonging to a unique people and the desire to help history live on. Taglit offers the opportunity to build strong relationships with other young Jews and instills in them the desire to create a Jewish home. I donate to Taglit without hesitation.
Taglit is the best way to support Israel. Young people who know little or nothing about Judaism and Israel are given knowledge, culture and love here in an unforgettable experience. In my own family, of two brothers, only one took part in Taglit. There are now worlds between them in their attitudes towards Israel and Judaism.
The best gift that a young person from our community can receive is the opportunity to travel to Israel. And the best way to connect them to Israel is for them to get to know their land, to find that part of Israel that touches them and to experience it for themselves.
I believe it is important to give the Jewish Youth across the world an opportunity to see a secular Israel in which men and women have equal opportunity, a country with a free press and an independent judiciary, and a state that attempts to support LGBTQ rights. Coming to Israel is a life-long wake-up call that is second-to-none for a Jew, especially at a young age as opinions are still forming, while having to defend against the loud and angry voices depicted in news cycles and on social media.
One of the most effective and transformative aspects of the Taglit-Birthright Israel experience for participants and Israelis alike is the Mifgash (Hebrew for ‘encounter’). For participants from around the world, meeting and getting to know their Israeli peers allows the themes explored on the trip to come alive.
