Birthright Israel Summer 2025 Programs Reinstated
Birthright Israel will officially resume its Summer 2025 season, with the return of participants to 10-day Classic trips, Onward internships, Volunteer programs, and the Excel fellowship, following the lifting of Home Front Command restrictions.
This announcement comes just 10 days after Birthright successfully executed the largest civilian evacuation in Israel’s history, ensuring the safe return of 2,800 participants, including young adults from the United States, Europe, Australia, and South America.
“We led a historic operation grounded in resilience, responsibility, and care, and now we’re opening the gates to Israel once again,” said Gidi Mark, CEO of Birthright Israel. “Our commitment to connecting Jewish young adults to Israel is stronger than ever, and we expect thousands of participants to arrive from now through the end of the summer season.”
This year, Birthright Israel is marking its 25th anniversary, celebrating a quarter-century of impact as the world’s largest educational tourism organization. Since its founding, the organization has provided more than 900,000 young Jewish adults with the gift of a 10-day educational journey through Israel, as well as internships, fellowships, and volunteer opportunities — deepening Jewish identity, strengthening communities, and forging lifelong connections to the land and people of Israel.
