Each year, hundreds of thousands of college-aged Jewish students are given a chance to explore Israel by actually visiting it! Taglit-Birthright and Hillel have partnered to send our students on this incredible, life-changing journey. For ten days, many students will:
-
Walk through the streets of Jerusalem, visiting famous sites like the Kotel (Western Wall), Mt. Herzel, and the Shuk (outdoor markets)
-
Ascend to the top of Masada before floating in the Dead Sea
-
Relive the moment Israel became a state by visiting Independence Hall in Tel Aviv
-
Swim (or Float) in the Dead Sea
-
Ride camels through the desert and experience Beduin hospitality
-
And so much more!
*Oklahoma Hillels is closely monitoring the current situation in Israel and working with Birthright staff to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We will keep all students informed of any changes or updates regarding their upcoming trip.
Oklahoma Hillels will be traveling with Birthright Israel this Winter and Summer! Applications dates will be updated here and shared on Social Media.

OUR PROGRAMMING
Extend introduces participants to internationally recognized Palestinian and Israeli civil society, human rights, and political leaders.
“Extend was the most thought-provoking days of my past year. Nothing can substitute for hearing directly from Palestinians and Israelis. Extend created a thoughtful context for us to hear those realities and carry them back to the U.S. to use in improved work for peace, freedom, and dignity for all people in Israel and Palestine.”
-Sarah, Harvard University
