Student Testimonials
“Birthright Hillel is an unparalleled experience- the sights, sounds, and tastes of Israel could not have been better explored than with them. I greatly enjoyed my ten days there, and know that I not only experienced a new culture, but learned so much more about myself and my religion as well as made long lasting friendships. I could not have asked for anything better!”– Max Meyerson, Class of 2020
