Participant feedback
The experience was truely unforgettable
Aardvark Israel has helped shape and strengthen my Jewish and Israeli Identity.
I was able to live like a local and experience the ins and outs of Israeli culture with so many unique experiences.
The diversity of the programming allowed me to experience it all the tiyulim, the classes, the travelling and of course the Shabbatons.

10/10 recommend
My time with birthright was nothing short of incredible, it's curated to help create a sense of closeness to your group, our people and our land. The memories, feelings and connections I was able to forge with the help of birthright have been life changing.
