UJA offers trips year-round to fantastic destinations – including many you wouldn’t expect. Join a local Jewish community for Shabbat dinner in Havana, Amsterdam, or Mumbai; experience the vibrancy of Israel and other breathtaking destinations in the Middle East, including Jordan and Egypt; form lasting friendships over drinks in Moscow, in the mountains of the Balkans, or in the warm night air of South Africa.
Get in touch with your Jewish philanthropy by learning from experts on the ground: local rabbis, foreign dignitaries, aid workers. Explore new communities with a freedom of access that only UJA’s resources can provide. Make lifelong friends as you discover a new country and open new doors in your relationships. Traveling with UJA means becoming a more active member of the global community.

Taglit-Birthright Israel, funded in part by UJA, creates peer-group educational trips to Israel for young Jewish adults. Each year, UJA runs trips over the summer and winter seasons for Jewish New Yorkers ranging in age from 22 to 26.
Participants experience an insider’s view of Israel, exploring vibrant cities, historic sites, and beautiful landscapes. Thanks to additional support from the Zankel family, we are proud to be able to enhance the trip with unique experiences.
Whether you participate in our Zankel Birthright Israel trip or one of our niche trips with a more specific focus, you’ll experience a life-changing adventure alongside your peers.
