Birthright Israel: Making a dream a reality for all Jewish young adults

Accessibility participants share their experience on Birthright Israel and what the trip means to them. As an organization, we believe that all eligible young adults should be able to visit Israel to experience their <em>birthright</em>. With the help of our donors, we’ve given the gift of Birthright Israel to more than 2,000 young Jewish adults with disabilities since 2001.

We enjoy the last minutes of summer, we prepare our children and grandchildren to return to school, we shop for dresses, ties and shoes to add to our wardrobes for our days in synagogue. We plan menus for dinners and look forward to welcoming our family and enjoying our individual and collective Rosh Hashanah traditions.
