What’s better than a completely free vacation? You figure it out yet? Probably not…because nothing is better than a free vacation. So when Jewish young adults between 18-27 get the opportunity to go the Israel for 10 days completely free, just because they are Jewish, they make sure their passport is in good standing and their bags are packed.
Birth Right was started in 2000 with the goal of young Jews coming to the homeland to find or develop roots with the state of Israel. It has since become a prerequisite for any young Jew who wants to keep their parents extremely happy knowing their child is getting in touch with their heritage. The kids actually end up benefiting, as they soon realize the trip is mostly partying in Israel and hooking up with hottie fellow Jews who have also convinced their parents this is a ’spiritual trip’. Though most Jews are completely in love with Israel after returning from the trip, it’s the hookahs, disco techs, and and wild Israeli girls that seem to be what captured their hearts.
If you haven’t gone on birthright yet, I highly recommend it… if not for you, for your parents sake.
