In November 2023, following the events of October 7 and in response to the challenges faced by Israeli society, Birthright Israel launched the Birthright Israel Volunteering Program. The program was created to support essential sectors across Israel, including agriculture, logistics, and rehabilitation, through hands-on volunteer work.

Testimonials
No words can describe how incredible this gift is. The experience is so intense that if you even stop to think for a second you will miss something extraordinary. The places you go, the people you meet and the entire trip itself is nothing but beauty. Whenever memories cross my mind, they still bring tears to my eyes.
The itinerary that was prepared for us was exemplary. The staff was excellent and attended to our every need. I was most impressed with the educational content of the program. I look forward to working with Israel Experience again next year.
I only have high praise for your organization and staff. We appreciate your hard work in building an affordable and safe trip for our members. But most of all, thank you for all those extra special touches that made all the difference to the trip. A special mention must be made of our tour-guides. This tip will be remembered forever by our community.
When I saw the Kotel for the first time, I felt one of those inspiring moments. We’re in the Jewish homeland. This is home.
