Southern New Jersey
Birthright Israel Volunteer Trip

Join Yael Adventures and Birthright Israel for a meaningful 8-day volunteer experience in Israel!

This volunteer program is in collaboration with Southern NJ Federation and is available for participants ages ____, regardless of prior Israel program experience. Organized by Yael Adventures, this unique volunteer program enables American Jews to make an impact with local Israeli communities and renew the Israeli spirit!

In the wake of October 7, now is the time to stand with Israel and offer hands-on support when it’s needed most. Whether its agricultural volunteering, packing food and supplies for displaced families, or rebuilding local community centers, your impact will be felt in communities across the country.

This volunteer trip will depart from JFK Airport. If you are coming from somewhere else in the U.S., you are responsible for paying for your own domestic flights (and ensuring that it arrives in time to make the group flight).

*The exact trip itinerary is currently being designed in collaboration with Southern New Jersey Jewish Federation & we will be able to share that in the coming weeks*
