What is special about Israel Outdoors?
Our Birthright trip provider is Israel Outdoors. Why do we travel with them? There are many reasons - but we'll share 4!
- We know you deserve the best - which is why we travel with Birthright's most popular trip provider.
- It's non-denominational - Israel Outdoors is unaffiliated with any particular Jewish movement. This trip is geared for all of you, regardless of your Jewish background! It's actually the only non-denominational, pluralistic Birthright trip offered specifically for WashU students.
- While we tour all throughout Israel, there’s a special focus on Israel’s natural beauty and outdoor exploration - we get extra opportunities to experience Israel’s landscape in a unique, awesomely fun way.
- We write our own itinerary and have our own tour guide that we have traveled with for the last four seasons. We have hand-picked our favorite spots that WashU students have loved the most!
