Taglit-Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, leading Jewish philanthropists, and local Jewish communities and Federations (through the United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod and The Jewish Agency for Israel).

Trip Organizers
Taglit-Birthright Israel is an umbrella organization that provides the gift of the trip, accredits individual Trip Organizers to run Taglit-Birthright Israel-approved programs and sets down the basic guidelines, standards and security policies by which Trip Organizers must operate. There are usually over 20 Taglit-Birthright Israel-accredited Trip Organizers (North America, other countries) running trips each session (2 sessions each year- Summer and Winter) and you are encouraged to choose the program which best suits the type of experience you're looking for.
