The energy at our annual Long Island event last week was electric! It was a night filled with inspiration as we celebrated the evening’s honoree, Phil Barnett, and the importance of passing on the torch of Jewish resilience.

A Night of Reflection and Celebration

We were reminded of the power of Birthright Israel to ignite passion and dedication in young Jewish adults. Adela Cojab, a Birthright Israel alum, shared her firsthand experience of how the trip deepened her connection to Israel and her Jewish identity. Following Adela, Foundation President and CEO Elias Saratovsky provided an update on Birthright Israel’s ongoing mission.

How You Can Make a Difference

The cost of sending one participant on Birthright Israel is $4,500. We invite you to donate and join our mission of ensuring every young Jewish adult has the opportunity to experience Birthright Israel. Your contribution can inspire new Jewish leaders, strengthen Jewish communities, and foster a lasting love for Israel. Birthright Israel has already impacted over 850,000 young Jewish adults—with your help, we can reach even more!
