Travel to Israel this Winter
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Taglit-Birthright Israel and the 5th anniversary of the DC Community Trip! The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington is sending THREE buses of young adults to Israel on the Taglit-Birthright Israel: DC Community Trip this winter!
If you are a Jewish young professional or graduate student between the ages of 22-26 living in the Greater Washington area, this trip is for you! With trip provider Shorashim, you will travel for 10 days this winter with Israelis who will share the beauty, excitement, and complexities of their country with you. Experience the history and challenges of modern Israel while building a community of fellow Washingtonians. Returning applicants are able to apply on September 13th and new applicants on September 14th at 10am.

Reverse Mifgash 2010:
Reverse Mifgash ("encounter") originated from a Taglit-Birthright alumna who was committed to bringing Israeli participants to the United States following her Taglit-Birthright Israel: DC Community trip in 2007. This year, The Jewish Federation will invite Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni from Moscow to participate in the Reverse Mifgash after receiving a grant from the NADAV Foundation to expand the program.
Save the date for November 9-18, as we engage with Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni from around the world and ensure that our connections to each other, Israel and our local Jewish community continue to grow.
