What's the purpose of the trip?

Posted: 5/24/05 at 2:28am

and its FREE!!! o the purpose is to give jewish american teenages a taste of their birthright homeland- Israel. Its a really amazing experience (and tons of fun too!)

I think the program has been running for 5 years now. My opinion on it is that it enables more people to be able to learn about and strengthen a connection with Israel by visiting it. Many of the groups also do community service while on the trip.

Can you still go if you're not Jewish?

And I thought someone was gonna say that they were the queen of BWW. or something.

yep we did a community service. we spent an afternoon at an Ethiopian Absorption Center for Jews that just imigrated to Israel from Ethiopia and we played with the kids there.

o no, you are supposed to be at least a little jewish

Yay,

Have fun. I have yet to go on Birthright, I'm saving mine for a bit later, I have some time still. I miss Israel soooo much. I was born there and love it dearly. I still even own a house in Jerusalem. You will have an amazing experience I'm sure.

I'm very excited. I've actually never gone out of the country besides Canada. The farthest I've flown was to Hawaii.

Yeah, keep up the pestering. Nagging is very effective for us. At least it has been for me lately.

RoseActress-- I just watched the footage from your Mega Event. It's going to be packed, but I've heard from other people who went that they randomly bumped into people they knew on other groups that went. I hope the same happens to me. I have friends from my wheels bus and rutgers that are going the same time as me.

But the b!tch on the other side has perfected the art form of nagging better than I.

Point taken. This may be true. Start taking notes.
