Mayanot is beginning an exciting new venture, spearheaded by Mayanot Alumni Adam Weinstein, the chairman of the post-Birthright volunteer board, and Rachel Fertel.
The 10 day trip to Israel with Mayanot Birthright is an exhilarating experience, connections and friendships are made. For many, the Birthright trip was their first chance to form relationships with other young Jewish adults.
However, after the plane touches down on American soil, and the participants go their separate ways, it is often difficult to maintain that sense of togetherness and connection across the distances and the pull of everyday life.
Mayanot Birthright is hoping to rectify this.
Although Birthright does cater to the larger Birthright community through initiatives such as the “Jewish Enrichment Center” and “Next,” Mayanot is now offering a service which is smaller and which is tailored to foster connections within the Mayanot family, which will work in conjunction and affiliation with these already established programs.
In order to help participants maintain and sustain the connections made on the trip not only to other young Jewish adults but to Jewish life and community, Mayanot has added a new member to the team, Sara Prinsky.
Prinsky, the post-Birthright program coordinator, is dedicating her time to organizing and publicizing events for Mayanot alumni in the New York-Metro area, as well as coordinating events in other cities throughout the United States, and liaising with the other Birthright alumni organizations.
