ISRAEL TRAVEL
BIRTHRIGHT
If you’re a Jewish undergraduate student and have never been on a peer-group trip to Israel, Hillel offers the best ways for you to have the time of your life in Israel – FOR FREE!
Northeastern Hillel has teamed up with Israel Outdoors to experience the awesome adventure of Israel from the inside, through the eyes and hearts of Israeli peers. Travel for 10-days with Israeli friends and staff who share the beauty, excitement and complexities of their country with you. Meet with Israeli figures that are shaping Israel today.
Hike in spectacular nature areas of Israel. From a meeting with residents of the Golan, to Bedouin hospitality in the desert, to an archaeological dig, from the liveliness of Tel Aviv, to the diversity and spirituality of Jerusalem, experience the history, the vibrancy and the challenges of Modern Israel.

Perspectives
NU Hillel is looking to bring together a dynamic and diverse group of NU student leaders for this unique experience. Together we will embark on a 10 day trip to Israel where we will explore the region and hear from a variety of speakers on various topics in Israeli and Palestinian society, including: history, culture, human rights, and the current political climate. This trip seeks to educate both Jewish and non-Jewish Northeastern University undergraduates about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through nuanced dialogue, conversation, and in person experiences. Gain insight and perspectives from diverse Israeli, Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and Jewish voices of the Middle East.
This trip is open to all NU undergraduates (excluding current seniors) and is highly subsidized (includes airfare, accommodations and all activities and transportation). The only expenses we ask students to pay for is one meal a day, any miscellaneous expenses you might encounter (i.e. souvenirs), and ground transportation to and from our domestic departure airport (Boston Logan International).
If accepted onto the trip, students will be required to submit a refundable $250 deposit, attend 2 pre trip orientations, and complete a pre and post trip survey.

HEAR FROM FORMER TRAVELERS
Every time I come back from a trip my grandma always asks me why I’m not in any photos, and every time I have to explain that it’s because I’m too busy taking photos to be in them.
This past trip to Israel was no different. My computer is full of photographs; every building, person, meal, view, etc serves as a memory that collectively represents my experience.
Now, whenever I feel like it I can just open my laptop and see the golden Dome of the Rock, hear the children playing at Save a Child’s Heart, taste the strawberries I bought at the Mahane Yehuda market, and feel the sand under my feet at the Dead Sea.

"Having already visited Israel previously, I had a rough understanding of what the country was like. What I could not have anticipated are the bonds - the meaningful, built-to-last relationships— that could result from a 10 day trip. I’m honored and lucky to count myself as one of the thousands of kids that can now officially vouch for the value, joy, and huge impact that going on birthright will have on someone’s life. Also there’s a ton of great hummus. “
