Eligibility:
Are you Jewish?
You must have at least one Jewish birth parent or have converted to Judaism to be eligible for Birthright Israel. Not religious? No worries. How you choose to define your Jewishness is up to you. This trip is a chance to discover Israel and explore your Jewish identity, whether it be cultural or spiritual. We welcome participants from diverse backgrounds so you’ll fit right in.
Are you between the ages 18-26?
You must be 18 to 26 years old at the time of the trip and have already graduated from high school. If you meet that criteria, mazel tov!—you’re eligible for the Birthright Israel trip. Nearing the end of the age bracket? If you’re applying for a summer trip, you must be 26 before May 1st. For winter trips, you must be 26 by December 1st.
Have you been to Israel before?
Vacationed or studied in Israel before your 18th birthday? As long as you stayed for less than 3 months, you can sign up for a Birthright Israel trip! If you participated in young adult or college student programs (after the age of 18) including university, study abroad, gap year, yeshiva/seminary, internship or any other experience under the umbrella of Onward Israel or Masa Israel—you’re not eligible (sorry!).
