With the “Taglit” program, Ukrainians can spend an unforgettable vacation – Publications

A unique opportunity has appeared for Ukrainians to go to Israel from the countries in which they are located or from which they can fly. Despite the circumstances in both countries, the Taglit program continues to donate trips and provides an opportunity for Ukrainian youth with Jewish roots to choose trips from various European countries, Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates, since departures from Ukraine are currently impossible.

There is certainly a lot to see in Israel. In the capital of the state, Jerusalem, the sights of several world religions are crowded at once: temples, mosques, synagogues, located next to wide boulevards and endless markets. An attractive country to visit and from the point of view of beach holidays, which are available here to travelers all year round.

It should be noted that here are located some of the best medical institutions in the world and the famous Dead Sea, where you can improve your health. Do you know what they say? “Tel Aviv walks, Jerusalem prays, Haifa works.” This is how you can briefly say about the amazing country – Israel. It is a compact and, at the same time, very diverse country.

Although many do not always have time to organize a trip on their own, the unique “Taglit” program will do it for you and give you an amazing opportunity to go on a ten-day trip to Israel absolutely free of charge. You will immerse yourself in all the colors and secrets of this warm country and taste delicious dishes that are loved all over the world. Feel like it’s time for a change? Then “Taglit” is a great offer for a summer “discovery”.

Why should you go to Israel with Taglit?

The goal of the Taglit project is for young people of Jewish origin from all over the world to have a chance to discover their national identity by visiting Israel and looking at it from different angles, from historical monuments to modern times. “Taghlit” gives 10 free days, but with some conditions.

1. You must be of Jewish origin to participate in the program. One of your parents or grandparents must have Jewish roots. If you have been to Israel before as tourists, this will not be a problem.

2. Young people from 18 to 27 years old can go on a trip.

Is it safe to travel to Israel right now?

Although Israel is still involved in the ongoing conflict, Taglit conducts its trips in constant coordination with the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and the Rear Service. Taglit sees the safety of its members as its priority and makes the necessary changes to the travel itineraries, but travelers will be able to enjoy the beauty of Israel.

Taglit has been conducting its trips since 1999 and has extensive experience in organizing safe and exciting trips even in times of conflict. Already this year, from January 4, 2024, more than one and a half thousand participants from different countries attended the program.

What interesting things has Taglit prepared for you?

Israel’s history is thousands of years, places, events and legends. We have prepared the brightest places and sights that you can easily visit in 10 days. You will learn what is in the country, how they collect two crops of fruit a year in the desert, how they know how to have fun, like nowhere else in the Middle East. Taglit offers an unforgettable trip for Ukrainian youth with Jewish roots. You will definitely see:

To penetrate the essence, you will visit the main shrine in Judaism and one of the most famous religious monuments in Israel, which can be seen not only by believers, but also by anyone who wants to.

Think that’s all? Taglit has prepared many surprises that will remain in your memories forever. So don’t delay!

Who should go to Taglit with if you are from Ukraine?

The only official partners of the project in Ukraine at the moment are representatives of the student organization Hillel CASE. The “Taglit” program is the main tool that helps Hillel in different cities of Ukraine to establish a strong spiritual connection of students with Israel, which, in turn, is one of the main tasks of the organization.

From 2009 to today, 4,000+ students of the organization have visited Israel as part of this unique project. Also, for all participants of the Hillel CASE project, special programs and seminars are held before and after the trip.

You can ask for support in organizing your trip to any Hillel of Ukraine – there are centers in Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Lviv, Dnipro.
