NEW YORK Those who travel to Israel with Birthright are more likely to stand under the wedding canopy alongside another Jewish person, according to a newly released study.
Known as the Jewish Futures Project, the study showed that 55 percent of those who participated on a free 10-day trip to Israel with Birthright had a Jewish spouse or partner, compared with 39% of non-participants. The research also showed that Birthright participants were more likely to raise Jewish children and stay connected to Judaism.
