10 Reasons to go on Birthright with NEU Hillel

If it's not already obvious, here's a list to clarify.

1. Explore Israel With Your Husky Fam!

The pack takes Israel! There's nothing better than experiencing Israel with your fellow huskies and making new friends along the way to see back on campus.

2. There's nothing like a solid view.

Witness some of the most incredibly breathtaking landscapes, from the forests of North to the deserts of the South. Come camera ready!

3. New friends, of course.

Ready to make over 40 new friends including Israeli soldiers? Of course you are. And it only takes 10 days!

4. The Beaches, enough said.

Over the Boston tundra? Think year-round clear Mediterranean waters, floating in the Dead Sea, and going on water hikes!

5. You'll eat well, we promise.

Falafel & schwarma & unlimited breakfast buffets & hummus & Aroma iced coffees & rugulach & pita & knafeh & salad & sabich & schnitzel & babaganoush &....

6. Get to know the people on the ground.

Learn about the day-to-day life of Israelis from Israelis! Israeli soldiers your age will be joining us on the Bus for ALL 10 days and you'll have an awesome tour guide to lead you through the country!

7. Discover what Judaism means to you!

Community, spirituality, tradition, take your pick. Discover your Jewish identity alongside other Huskies doing the same.

8. Celebrate like it's 1948!

Explore some of Israel's best restaurants, markets, night-life, cafes, museums, arts, and more!

9. The big hitters.

We know you've heard the rumors...sunrise on Masada, floating in the Dead Sea covered in mud, Ba'hai Gardens, Kibbutzim, Bedouin tents, camel rides, Old City of Jerusalem, visits to army bases...it's all true! And it's so much more.

10. From friends to family.

It doesn't end in Israel! When you get back to campus, the NEU Hillel staff members will be waiting with coffee dates, fun follow-up programs, and plenty of opportunities to reconvene with your Birthright faves.
