We are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request for your support in a truly worthwhile cause. We have a group of 40 extraordinary young individuals from India who are hoping for the opportunity to participate in a Taglit Birthright program this summer (September ), and we are seeking financial assistance to make their dreams come true.
Taglit Birthright Israel is an incredible initiative that provides young Jewish adults from around the world with the chance to explore their heritage and connect with their roots in Israel. For participants from India, this journey holds even greater significance, and the impact of this experience goes beyond the participants themselves, as they return to their communities in India as ambassadors of Jewish heritage, spreading awareness and fostering a sense of belonging among their peers. And indeed, no other Jewish enterprise in recent years has had more influence on strengthening the Jewish community in India than Taglit.
Most of the youngsters in this group are members of the Bnei Menashe, a community with an extraordinary story. The youngsters from this community are filled with an indescribable desire to visit Israel, to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors, and to experience the profound sense of belonging that comes with connecting to their Jewish heritage. However, many of them face significant financial barriers that prevent them from embarking on this life-changing journey.
ORT India has joined with Taglit to try to make this year’s trip a reality. This is truly a MITZVA.
We invite you to be part of this inspiring endeavor and contribute to the realization of these dreams. Together, we can empower them to embrace their heritage, strengthen their Jewish identity, and contribute positively to their community.
