Columbia Barnard Birthright Israel

Join us for a 10-day peer travel experience that explores Jewish identity, community, and connection—set against the backdrop of Israel’s rich history and complexity. Travel with fellow Columbia and Barnard students and return to campus with new friendships and shared memories.

Birthright trips are open to students who have not spent extensive time in Israel and who meet the program’s eligibility requirements. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, reach out—we’re happy to help!

We’re committed to offering a trip experience that prioritizes comfort, thoughtful dialogue, nuance, and a celebration of diverse Jewish and political identities.
