Birthright Israel NEXT inspires all Taglit-Birthright Israel participants and their peers to expand their connections to the land and people of Israel, to deepen their personal commitments to Jewish life and to find or form communities where Jewish responsibility, learning and celebration thrive.

Here in Philadelphia, Birthright Israel NEXT works hand in hand with our local partners, The Collaborative and Moishe House.

Have a great idea for an event, or want to get connected to other alumni in Philadelphia? Email Danielle at philly@birthrightisraelnext.org to say hi, grab coffee, or see what's going on in the area!

You can follow us on Twitter and Facebook, or visit philly.birthrightisrael.com for information on upcoming events or ways to get involved.

With love and light,
