Jewish people going to Israel

Question

I am jewish and me and my mom have been talking about possibly planning a trip to Israel to visit "the land of our people" I was talking with a friend of mine and she said that alot of Jewish people get discounts for going to Israel, IS that actually possible, you prove your jewish and they let you in cheaper? I'm just wondering if this is fact or fiction, can anyone help??

Answer 1

so not true i went to israel and you don't get  a discount but they do offer kosher (and usually really gross) meals for jews  

Answer 2

I don't know about that, maybe if you go to a Jewish travel agency they could do something for you but if your 18-26 you can go on birthright, its a 10 day trip to Israel with young people like yourself and it's completely free!

Your mom wouldn't be able to go though(unless she's really young) but maybe you could stay in Israel after the trip and then meet up with your mom, that would at least save you a  one way ticket.

You could also ask them if they could let you fly back with a different birthright group that way you save a 2 way ticket and only your mom has to pay.

It also wouldn't hurt to contact them and ask if they have or know of any programs for people over 26.

Good Luck and enjoy your trip! :)

Answer 3

You might try contacting the embassy where you live, if there is such a thing, they would know.
