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.

​

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 traveling 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. 

 

Each Birthright Israel tour group is accompanied by an armed well-trained trained security guard (who is also a trained first responder).

 

Every day, Birthright Israel touring itineraries are coordinated with and approved by the specially created "Situation Monitoring Taskforce" - a collaboration of Israel's security agencies, the IDF, Israel Police and local law enforcement authorities.
