Taglit-Birthright Israel : SEC. trips combine educational thought provoking sessions with fun filled excursions to the culturally rich and multicolored landscapes of our ancestral home.  Regardless if you are Sephardic or Askenazic, traveling with the SEC allows you to forge strong Jewish relationships with your American and Israeli peers as well as explore relevant issues facing Israelis today.  We aim to strengthen your Jewish identity and enrich your perspective of your heritage.  We hope to bridge the gap between Jews world wide and believe that the first step is to experience the Land of Israel and understand the history, culture and heritage that unifies us as a nation.

During the 10 days you will spend in Israel, you will visit Jerusalem and its Old City, then travel to the Dead Sea and float above the salty waters. You will have tea with the Bedouins in the desert and climb to the top of historical Masada.  In Tel Aviv, the city that never sleeps, you will enjoy its gorgeous beaches by day and then the exciting social venues at night. Then its off to the north to experience the breathtaking views and beauty of the Golan Heights and visit the mystical city of Safed. Every moment is packed with discovery, wonder and excitement.

Take this time for you to broaden your Jewish knowledge, expand your mind to the culture of your heritage and create memories and friendships to last a lifetime.
