Would you like the opportunity to go on a 10-day trip to Israel for free? If you are age 18-26, Jewish, and have never been to Israel with a peer group, you might qualify to participate in Taglit-Birthright Israel, the program that offers Diaspora Jews free trips to Israel. Registration for the next trip opens on February 13, 2013.
In the summer of 2012, 15 students from Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and other universities participated in the Taglit-Birthright Israel program for the twelfth year.
