The SPNI Advantage - Israelis Inside
With SPNI, you won't see Israel as a tourist. Just as you would rely on a Briton to show you the real England, so too can you rely on SPNI to show you the real Israel. That's because SPNI was founded by Israelis, is headquartered in Israel and fully operated by Israelis. What's more, Israelis your age join you on the trip and you can chat them up with the Hebrew you learn on SPNI's unique Hebrew To GO! program.
As Israelis, we are extremely proud and honored to introduce you to your homeland. We treat you like family and provide the utmost in terms of quality service, accommodations, educators and safe surroundings so you have the time of your life! No one knows Israel better than the Israelis of SPNI. So join SPNI and get Israelis Inside®.
Aside from Israelis Inside®, there are lots of other reasons why SPNI was the choice of thousands of Taglit-Birthright Israel participants. Check out the following SPNI Advantages:

The Trip - It's Fun, Fascinating and Totally Free!
The 10-day trip is fun. It's also educationally, personally and Jewishly stimulating and engaging. You'll experience the diversity of Israel ranging from the ancient-modern city of Jerusalem to the rugged volcanic mountains of the Golan Heights. You'll feel the intense heat of the Negev desert, float effortlessly in the Dead Sea and gaze over the Galilee's green rolling hills. You'll enjoy the wide soft-sand beaches of Tel Aviv as well as the city's hippest disco. In short, you will gain, grow and learn all while falling in love with a small, unique and fascinating country that basks in the warm Mediterranean sun.

The People - Diversity is the Key:
Why go to Israel with 40 people that you already know when you can establish a global network of friendships? SPNI is one of Taglit-Birthright Israel's leading organizers. During your trip, you'll meet students and professionals from these nations since our trips often share the same hotels and we plan joint programs such as parties and educational events. So, aside from getting to know a country and its people, you meet your peers from the world over!

Learn Hebrew - SPNI's Unique Hebrew To GO! Program:
Just a few decades ago, the Hebrew the language was reserved solely for learning Torah in seminaries. Nowadays, toddlers to taxi-drivers, pedestrians to prime ministers speak the Holy Tongue effortlessly. With SPNI, you too will learn to speak some choice Hebrew in our unique Hebrew To GO! (Ivrit BaDerech) program, developed in coordination with the world-renowned Ulpan Akiva in Netanya. No prior knowledge is necessary. The lessons are short, painless and fun (this NOT Hebrew school) and the results - well they are pashut madhim!
