The Kesher Israel experience does not end at the end of the trip. There are many ways to stay engaged with your fellow travelers and with the Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni network as a whole. Here are some ways to get started...
Trip Facebook Groups
Kesher Israel posts a unique Facebook group for each and every trip that we organize. These groups are a great medium for connecting with your fellow Kesher participants before the trip starts and for many years to come. If you have already been confirmed on a trip, you will receive a notification with your group's specific Facebook link. If you have not received this message, please let us know, and we will send it out you.
Birthright Israel NEXT Birthright Israel NEXT is the official destination for follow-up programming after the end of the trip. At this site you will find a wide variety of local events as well as opportunities to host a Shabbat dinner with your friends, attend nation-wide alumni events, or connect with other organizations in your area where you can continue your own journey.
Share the Gift With Your Friends As a Kesher Israel alumni, you have a unique opportunity to share the Taglit-Birthright Israel gift with your eligible friends & family members. Friends of Kesher Israel alumni are automatically qualified to receive preferential trip selection status with Kesher Israel. Given the high demand for the Taglit-Birthright Israel gift, this is a very valuable offer. At the conclusion of your trip, you will receive a "welcome back" message with detailed instructions on how to take advantage of this offer with Kesher Israel. Please take us up on it!
