Birthright Israel: MAYANOT

Birthright Israel: MAYANOT is a non-profit organisation based in Jerusalem, Israel working on education, religion & faith.

Birthright Israel: MAYANOT is a not-for-profit provider of Birthright Israel, a programme that gives Jewish young adults aged 18 to 26 a free ten-day educational group trip to Israel. Trips include round-trip airfare, accommodation, bus transport, educational staff, site entries and two meals a day. Participants come from diverse Jewish backgrounds and travel in groups that include young Israelis, often serving soldiers. The organisation, which has operated Israel tours for around 20 years, recruits participants mainly from the United States and funds its trips with donations and support from the Government of Israel, The Jewish Agency for Israel and Jewish communities. Mayanot draws inspiration from Chabad spirituality. Its work is based in Jerusalem and centres on Jewish identity, culture and heritage.
