Abstract:
This issue of Contact discusses the next stages in the development of birthright israel, following the organization's initial overwhelming success. Leonard Saxe, Charles Kadushin, and Archie Brodsky examine the effects of birthright israel trips upon the Jewish identities of their participants. Simon Klarfeld and Gil Troy discuss follow-up efforts to connect with participants after the trip is over. Two birthright israel trip organizers, Doron Krakow and Esther Abramowitz, reflect on Israel programs during periods of increased tension in the region. Also included are articles by Rebecca Sills, Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, and Michael H. Steinhardt.
