This past year has illuminated the unshakable strength, resilience, and unity of our global Jewish community.
At Taglit Birthright Israel, we embrace this moment in our shared history to increase our efforts to bring every Jewish young adult to Israel. We are determined to nurture Jewish pride and identity, inspiring young adults to embrace their heritage and connection to Israel.
Since October 2023, over 20,000 young Jewish adults have participated in our programs, deepening their bond with our shared homeland and leaving inspired to become leaders in their own communities across the globe. Together, they contributed 75,000 days of service and support to communities that were affected by the war, leaving a unique impact on Israel and its people.
Alumni have risen as proud advocates, confidently sharing their voices on college campuses and social media, standing tall in the face of challenges.
As we celebrate 25 years of transforming lives, thanks to your most valuable support, we continue to connect, empower, and build the next generation of Jewish leaders.
25 YEARS OF BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL
900,000 PARTICIPANTS
2024 AT A GLANCE
Through October 2024, Birthright Israel brought approximately 87% of young adult sightseeing tourists.
BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL VOLUNTEER
Birthright Israel Volunteer program was launched in response to the events of October 7, uniting Taglit alumni and friends from around the world to support Israel in its time of need. Volunteers contributed by working in agricultural fields and logistics centers, demonstrating unparalleled unity and solidarity in action.
Economic contribution of 10,000 Taglit volunteers is estimated at about $30M per year.
BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL GREENING
Birthright Israel is committed to sustainability, forming a task force and adopting innovative strategies to reduce our carbon footprint, promote environmental Judaism, and positively influence educational tourism.
BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL RESPITE
Taglit Birthright Israel maintains a deep connection to Israel’s peripheral communities, with nearly every group spending meaningful time in the North and South. In response to the urgent needs of displaced families, Taglit offered a week of temporary relocation and respite to people from northern and southern border communities.
25th Anniversary
As we look forward to 2025, Taglit Birthright Israel will celebrate its monumental 25th anniversary with a series of extraordinary events and missions that reflect the transformative impact Birthright Israel has had on the Jewish world.
We are thrilled to announce two remarkable missions to Israel that will anchor this milestone year. First, the exclusive Guardians Society Mission, taking place May 18–22, will be a high-level experience for major donors who commit a minimum gift of $100,000 in 2025. This intimate program will include meaningful engagement with Israel’s top leaders, personal interactions with participants, and unique programming that showcases the profound impact of Birthright Israel over the past 25 years.
Following this, from June 18–24, we will host our international 25th Anniversary Mission, culminating in the highly anticipated Taglit Mega Event on June 23. This grand celebration will bring together supporters, alumni, and participants from around the world to honor the transformative impact of Birthright Israel on the global Jewish community.
