Safety on Tailor Made Birthright Israel Trips
The safety and well-being of our Birthright Israel participants is our primary operating principle and our foremost concern. Birthright Israel takes great pride in its reputation for being cautious and responsible with a well-deserved reputation from hosting over 850,000 travelers over the past 24 years. We will not hesitate to further adjust our approach, as necessary.
Birthright Israel trips operate under strict safety and security standards set in accordance with the IDF's Homefront Command guidelines. These guidelines include geographical travel boundaries, limiting groups from travelling within a 40km range of the Gaza Strip or a 20km range of the Lebanese border, exact protocols of how to operate during the sound of a siren, personal safety guidelines and more. Birthright Israel's operations department and field teams are in constant contact with trip staff and oversee the group's operations and safety.
Trip itineraries are approved daily with the "Situation Monitoring Room" administered by the Society for the Protection of Nature. The Situation Monitoring Room works closely with Israel's security forces including the IDF, Israel Police, and local security and reservation authorities.
