Tel Aviv/Jerusalem, in apartment-style accommodations.
Each unit will be a 2-bedroom or studio apartment. Three participants per room.
On volunteer days pack-your-own-lunches will be provided as well as dinner before programming. You will be responsible for your own food outside when you are on your own and should come to Israel ready to spend some of your own money and support the local economy :).
You will be responsible for travel to volunteering locations within Tel Aviv/Jerusalem, any time that we are leaving the city as a group, for volunteering or other activities, FJL will provide busing.
Yes certainly! However, we will limit the number of non-alumni – first come first serve.
Birthright requires that all participants purchase the standard insurance through the application process.
Although the trip will be action-packed with meaningful experiences we know that you have all been to Israel before and want time to experience the country, so there will be free evenings and afternoons also.
Residential shabbat programming in a warm, friendly, English speaking community.
Yes, you have the ability to extend the second leg of your ticket through your own travel agent, and at cost to you, assuming you are joining the group flight.
You can participate on two volunteer trips but if you join one of our volunteer trips your second trip would also need to be with us. You can only receive a group flight/flight subsidy one time.
FJL is dedicated to identifying, inspiring and training a new generation of intellectually curious young Jews, committed leaders of the Jewish community and beyond.
