Interviews will be conducted until Thursday, Oct. 5. Information can be accessed through the foundation's website or call 624-6561 for more information.

Hillel's Birthrights Israel trip, underwritten by Birthright Israel, offers Jews ages 18-26 the opportunity to travel with students from campus and tour Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea and Galilee region. Online registration is available.

"Last year's trip was the most amazing experience of my life," said UA student Lindi Samakosky. "I always dreamt about going to Israel but it was even more powerful and beautiful than I thought it would be."

The Birthright Israel gift is possible through at $210 million partnership from a group of prominent philanthropists, local Jewish Federations, the people of Israel through their government, Keren Hayesod and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
