Birthright Israel Onward believes that under the current conditions in Israel, it is possible to run our programs safely and securely in line with Israeli Civil Defense guidelines and with the effective defense layer provided by Iron Dome. In fact, we are currently bringing hundreds of volunteers to Israel. If the situation changes significantly on the ground we will take the necessary precautions and make the necessary adjustments. If in the future, we don’t believe that we can safely and securely run our programs, we will postpone them until safer times.
