HILLEL@FSU

Find out everything you need to know about going to Israel…there’s nothing like your first time!

TAGLIT-Birthright Israel: Hillel trip is a 10 days free trip to Israel!!!

Here is some information about the process-

In order to be considered you need to be 18-26 years old, have at least one Jewish parent and never been to Israel on a peer-group trip before.

Go to www.freeisraeltrip.org and sign up for an email reminder for when the next trip opportunity opens. Choose Florida State University (Hillel at FSU) as your school and Explore Israel (Winter or Summer) as your trip.

Once you get the reminder email, go on line to the same link www.freeisraeltrip.org Fill out the registration completely. Pay your $250 refundable deposit. (You get back the deposit if you go or not go, so there is nothing to lose. . . ) Apply for your passport if you don’t have one already. The number of seats we get allocated is based on the number of people who completely registered and paid their deposit by the time registration closes. We try to send everyone on this amazing trip one way or another. Usually, chances are 50:50 you’ll get picked. Register even if you are not sure you can go so you won’t be sorry later!

After you register, we will invite you to an interview and then we will let you know if you are approved/wait-listed/not approved for this trip. All approved travellers have a mandatory orientation session and then we will be on our way to Israel!!!

Hillel at FSU trips are either during winter break December or at the end of Spring semeter. You need to arrange your own transportation to the gateway airport.  If you have any questions, please contact us at programs@hillelatfsu.org or call 850-222-5454.
