Summary: An update of a 2006 report, Searching for the Study of Israel examines the scope of academic courses being taught about Israel on more than 300 leading American college and university campuses and finds that the state of education about Israel has improved since the original study. A comparison of the 246 institutions included in both studies shows a 69% growth in courses that focus specifically on Israel over the three-year period.

Summary: Generation Birthright Israel: The Impact of an Israel Experience on Jewish Identity and Choices is the first long-term study of Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni to document the program’s impact on early participants and their decisions and attitudes regarding marriage, community and connection to Israel. The report finds, most dramatically, a deepening attachment to Israel and commitment to Jewish family.
