On July 31, about 3,500 young people from 14 countries, as well as sponsors and friends of the Taglit educational program, gathered in the Caesarea amphitheater to take stock of the past year.

This is only a small part of the 32 thousand participants of the program, who during the recent year came to Israel from 68 countries to get acquainted with their Jewish roots and get to know Israel and Israelis better.

“We are pleased that, thanks to the efforts of the EAJC, young people from the Euro-Asian region, from the Balkans to Japan, have the unique opportunity to visit Israel completely free of charge, learn a lot about the history and culture of their people, and make friends with Israeli peers,” said the EAJC General Director Haim Ben Yaakov.
