- - To strengthen the bond between Jews in Israel and Jews living
in the Diaspora and to create a Jewish meeting point,
Taglit-Birthright Israel, which was initiated by Yossi Beilin, has
for the last 10 years provided Jewish young adults with the
opportunity to visit Israel at no charge. In his latest book,
"Birthright: The True Story" (ISBN 1456452606), Beilin seeks to
reveal the unexpected struggles he encountered from Jewish
establishments-- both in Israel and the wider Jewish community--in
finding support for these free trips. Written to expose the inner
culture and politics of the existing Jewish establishments, Beilin
describes the challenges he had to overcome to make the program a
reality: from confronting harsh opposition, to gaining financial
support from donors and eventually convincing the wider Jewish
community of the necessity of such a program. "False knowledge has
been spread about the creation of Birthright, or been left out
completely," Beilin said. "I wanted to provide the truth behind
this project." "Birthright: The True Story" looks to provide
readers with insight behind the project that has sent a quarter of
a million young Jews to Israel. Beilin mixes the elements of a
documentary with those of a memoir to show the personal struggles
he faced in order to facilitate such a monumental international
project.
