Do Taglit with SPNI

As you may have heard, registration for the 2009 summer season of Taglit-Birthright Israel trips is about to begin.

This season, SPNI, Israel's leading environmental and nature preservation organization has joined with with IsraelExperts, Israel's leading educational tour operator, to provide an amazing Taglit-Birthright Israel trip - Discover Israel Naturally. This trip will combine the best of both parent organizations:

SPNI - See the land of Israel in all its beauty. You will visit some of Israel's most amazing nature reserves, enjoy Bedouin hospitality in the Negev desert, swim in the cool waters of the Sea of Galilee and see the exotic and interesting Golan heights from a lookout on the peak of Mount Bental and learn how Israel deals with pollution and water shortage problems.

IsraelExperts - See the land of Israel with all its complex and varying conflicts and challenges. Learn about the tough questions without receiving simplistic answers. We will show you Israel through pluralistic eyes and provide a well rounded experience of this special country and its diverse people.
We have attached a sample itinerary of the trip to this email, so that you can check it out yourself and get a sense of what we're talking about.

It's an amazing once in a lifetime experience and it's all for free!

Please pass this email along to anyone who you feel may be eligible for this wonderful gift (Jewish youth aged between 18 and 27 years of age and have never been to Israel on an organized peer trip). It is important to remind them that registration opens on the 19th of February at 9:00 AM EST, and seats are limited.
