(Birthright Israel: Mayanot Staff Members) 

As we pause and reflect on our achievements from the past year, and our hopes and expectations going into the new one, Mayanot would like to share a snapshot of the incredibly positive outcomes attained over the past 2019 summer season. 

The following data is taken from a report we received from Birthright Israel and Machon Szold, drawn from questionnaires filled out by our participants after their Israel trip. 

We are excited to share that being that the highest score given is a 6, the numbers below indicate our borderline excellence in all of these areas. 

Towards the end of the trip, the Israelis weremore interested in getting to know other Jews                    5.8                 

Towards the end of the trip, participants could relatemore to Jewish values                                                5.5

Towards the end of the trip, participants feltmore connected to Israel                                                          5.5

Towards the end of the trip, participants thought moreabout the meaning of being Jewish                        5.5

Towards the end of the trip, participants feltmore connected to the Jewish people                                     5.4

Towards the end of the trip, participants saw Israelin a more complex way                                                  5.2

These results, beyond any doubt, are due to the Mayanot teams complete dedication, selflessness and positive energy that they bring everyday to the office and on every Mayanot trip. 

It goes without saying that activities such as Shabbat at the Kotel, Shabbat lunch with hosts, emphasis on Tzfat, visiting the Mikveh - are unique to Mayanot and extremely popular with all of our groups, adding a deeper layer of meaning to our trips. 

 

To our amazing staff:

We thank you from the bottom of our
hearts for the work that you do! 

 



We look forward to continuing
with you in תש"פ!
