Taglit-Birthright Israel is in direct contact with the appropriate Israeli security and public safety authorities on a minute-to-minute basis. Before traveling to any destination, we are first cleared by the Israeli government.

All groups are accompanied by a GPS tracking system which is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by a special security room whose sole responsibility is the safety and security of our groups.

Taglit-Birthright Israel: Aish HaTorah tours do not travel to or through certain unsafe areas such as the West Bank, Gaza or crowded areas.

Only private transportation is used on the program.

As per Israel government regulation, an armed guard and a medic accompany the group 24 hours a day for the duration of the tour.

The Taglit-Birthright Israel: Aish HaTorah tour is a very full and structured program and participants are forbidden from ever leaving the group or going anywhere unsafe alone.

Should free time be granted to the group, the location and time will be at the sole discretion of the Aish staff.

Also, before you leave for Israel, please be sure to share your itinerary and Israeli contact telephone numbers with your parents so they have this information if they need it.
