Pre-Register Now: Cleveland Birthright

Do you know a Jewish Clevelander, ages 22 to 26, who is ready for a travel experience unlike any other?

If so, send them to www.clevelandbirthrightisrael.com to pre-register for the Cleveland Summer 2016 Birthright Israel Trip.

Thanks to a partnership of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, Birthright Israel, and Israel Outdoors, Cleveland residents can embark on a free 10-day trip to Israel from June 20 – June 30, 2016.

Clevelander Margarita Bykhovsky spent 10 days in Israel, touring the land and connecting with Jewish young adults. “I felt accepted and I knew this is exactly where I needed to be,” she said after traveling to Israel with Birthright Israel. “The experiences and strength I've gained from this trip will travel with me forever.”

In addition to visiting popular tourist sites, the Cleveland trip also takes young adults to Beit Shean, Cleveland’s sister city in Israel. While in Beit Shean, young adults can experience the strong partnership and unwavering support between Cleveland and its sister city. They will also receive a special taste of home hospitality and feast on ethnic foods with “Cooks of the Region.”

Israel Outdoors is the largest provider of Birthright Israel trips. This trip is a gift from Taglit-Birthright Israel with additional support from the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.

Registration opens February 1, 2016. For more information about gaining priority status and receiving instructions to apply for the trip, interested applicants can contact Matt Newman at mnewman@jcfcleve.org 216-593-2880. Visit our I-Connect page to learn more about all of the Federation's opportunities in Israel.
