Round Trip Birthright
Netanya / Cincinnati
A three-step program:
First, a group of ten young adults from Netanya (students & soldiers) join the Birthright group from Cincinnati to travel Israel for a week which includes time in Netanya to participate in a P2G activity. Secondly, all participants continue to meet through monthly Skype calls to discuss Pluralistic Judaism, Jewish identity, Israel, American society, and more. Finally, after eight months, the Netanya group visits the Jewish community of Cincinnati to learn and experience Jewish life in the Diaspora. Read a participant article here.
