Taglit Birthright registration has been closed for a little over a week. The Taglit-Birthright Israel Foundation offers a FREE ten day trip for young Jewish adults 18-26.
More information is available at http://www.birthrightisrael.com. If you missed registration this year, you may want to seriously consider registering for the upcoming winter trip (check the site regularly) or next year's summer trip. This is something I feel very comfortable with promoting as I had an amazing time in Israel through this organized and unique trip.
One of the most popular Israeli hip-hop groups, Tact, created a video mentioning the Taglit trip and referenced that thousands of Jews from all over the world have visited Israel courtesy of this amazing organization. The song/video, called "Home," features Tact's Shi 360.
Most recently Birthright Israel also inspired young people who participated in the trip to create solos which have been turned into show. The show is called "Monologues" and it chronicles the diverse experiences of people who each took ten days of their lives to participate in an in-depth tour of Israel. The cast of "Monologues" created their pieces during a series of group workshops and individual rehearsals with director Vanessa Hidary, of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. Please go here for more information and dates regarding upcoming shows.
