Join Yael Adventures and Virginia Peninsula for a meaningful 8-day volunteer experience in Israel this summer.
​
After October 7th, a wave of solidarity from Birthright Israel alumni and the global Jewish community swept across the world. People didn’t ask if they should help. They asked how. Birthright Israel answered.
Through Volunteer in Israel, a joint initiative of Birthright Israel and Jewish Federations of North America, Jewish adults ages eighteen to fifty can join an eight-day experience supporting Israeli communities and build a deeper connection with Israel and its culture. This includes agricultural work, food distribution, rebuilding, and hands-on aid. Thousands of people have already stepped up. Now it’s your turn​
