Birthright Kicks Off Winter Season
Following last week’s announcement of an extra $5m from philanthropists Dr Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Taglit-Birthright will bring in 17,000 young adults from 32 countries – a record number of countries for a winter season.
“We are looking forward to a very successful season filled with new and stimulating experiences,” said Gidi Mark, International CEO of Taglit-Birthright Israel. “Taglit-Birthright is constantly updating and upgrading its programs and this winter season promises to enlighten, entertain and educate participants in new ways.
Taglit-Birthright Israel’s winter season will see many special niche groups participating in the experience. These include culinary, fashion, a “Start-Up Nation” group and a group of young Jews with Autism and Aspergers syndrome.
