Since 2009, Taglit-Birthright has made it all possible for more than 650,000 young Jews. This revolutionary program is a gift to the Jewish leaders of tomorrow—fostering connections between Jewish communities, building lifelong friendships, and confirming our shared heritage in a tangible way.

For many young French Jews, the opportunity to experience Taglit-Birthright Israel was an eye-opening experience—it marked the first time they were able to express their Judaism freely and openly.
