| Our summer 2022 trip has capacity for 30 participants, available on a first come, first served basis. The registration deadline is March 1st, but we cannot guarantee that spots will still be available by that time. Complete your registration now to avoid disappointment! |
Registration for Birthright and Beyond is a multi-step process:
Once your online application is complete, schedule a short interview over coffee (or over Zoom) with Mikhael, our Director of Israel Programs. This is a required part of the application process and may involve answering questions to help verify your eligibility, but this is primarily an opportunity to get to know you!
Either before or after your interview, you must submit a refundable $250 deposit to Birthright Israel through the online application portal. You can reclaim your deposit after the trip is over. (For more information about the deposit, see our FAQs.)We expect all Harvard students on the trip to participate in both elements of the program: Birthright and Beyond. Since Birthright automatically books your return flight to coincide with the end of their program, it is necessary to reschedule your return flight no earlier than the final day of the Beyond program. (You are welcome to request a return flight as late as three months after your date of arrival in Israel.)
This is done by submitting an extension request form at forms.giltravel.com/br/. A representative of the Gil Travel Group will contact you via email to confirm your new flight details. Upon receipt, forward your new flight details to mikhael@hillel.harvard.edu. Once we have your new return flight details, your place on Beyond is secured.Participants are also expected to attend an orientation program on campus to be scheduled approximately two months prior to departure.
