Birthright Israel
AU Hillel brings dozens of students to Israel each winter and summer on our campus Birthright Israel trips. Students can climb Masada, touch the Western Wall, float in the Dead Sea, and so much more - all for free, and all with fellow AU students! Our next trip is scheduled for May 19 - 29, 2022.
Birthright Israel is an innovative partnership between the State of Israel, private philanthropists, and Jewish communities around the world.
Kol Yisrael
Fellowship
This new fellowship will explore how pluralism looks – and could look – in Israel. The group will examine real life case studies to understand how Jews navigate shared Jewish space within the Jewish state, examining the various values at play. Fellows will meet throughout the semester; those who fulfill the Fellowship expectations will earn a stipend. No prior experience with the topic required.
