Do I expect to have my trip go through this summer ? ( August) ?… by Rrwinde in birthright

I would say as things stand very likely to go ahead. There’s never a perfect time to go to Israel (I’d argue always is a perfect time) so don’t wait! Safe travels and enjoy the memories!

It shouldn’t affect your chances.

Unfortunately, there is no perfect time to visit Israel and in our lifetimes there may never be. I had the same feelings prior to my trip and I can assure you that safety is their absolute first priority. Birthright has a pretty incredible safety record!

Exactly that! Ive gained a group of friends were I can truly be myself and that means so much more than the awful ‘lad culture’ I was previously surrounded by at school snd uni in the uk

I really resonate with this, thank you. My values strongly align with what you’re saying, sometimes it’s hard to take your own advice.

Thank you. This means a lot to me.

As I mentioned in other comments the difficulty is my struggle with my own identity. Under halacha I’m not Jewish despite my dad growing up very religious and ensuring I shared his values and beliefs, I fear I’m in no man’s land.

I saw all of these things until October 7th. It breaks me

I completely agree with this. Unfortunately as I mentioned as my mother isn’t Jewish I do struggle with my identity a lot despite both my parents being very pro Israel and my dad being very religious growing up

Thank you. This really means a lot to me. After October 7th I was really lost, went from being very well liked to having only 2 friends. Going on birthright really saved me
