Join Canada Israel Experience this
Spring/Summer 2012 on a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip!
Tour Israel with the most popular Canadian trip organizer. Socialize with your Jewish Canadian peers. Meet and travel with Israeli soldiers. Swim in the dead sea, dance in a Tel Aviv nightclub, and drink in a Golan winery.
Canada Israel Experience (CIE) is proud to be the largest and most experienced Taglit-Birthright Israel trip organizer in Canada. Since its first trip in February 2000, over 18,000 Canadians who have participated on a Taglit-Birthright Israel program have traveled with CIE.
Taglit-Birthright Israel is an innovative partnership between the people of Israel through the Government of Israel, private philanthropists through the Birthright Israel Foundation and Jewish communities around the world (North American Jewish Federations; the Jewish Agency for Israel; and Keren Hayesod).
CIE is equally pleased to offer both National and community-based programs, allowing participants the opportunity to tour Israel with their peers from their own home/university community. As a result, CIE participants have the chance to meet, network, and build long-lasting relationships with other Canadian Jews residing in the same region and/or city.
Let Canada Israel Experience treat you to a trip of a lifetime!

Taglit-Birthright Israel
is an innovative partnership between the people of Israel through the Government of Israel, private philanthropists through the Birthright Israel Foundation and Jewish communities around the world (North American Jewish Federations; the Jewish Agency for Israel; and Keren Hayesod).
Since 1996, CIE has proven to uphold a tradition of excellence in preserving the highest quality of educational, logistical and safety standards. The welfare of our participants is of utmost concern, and in an ongoing effort to secure the safety of each participant, all CIE itineraries are planned in accordance with the security directives of the Israeli Ministry of Education, the Israeli Defense Forces and Police Command, and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
It is Canada Israel Experience's goal to meet the needs of the Canadian Jewish community. As the leading Israel tour organizer in Canada, our organization is committed to ensuring that all of our programs provide CIE participants with a unique, unparalleled Israel Experience. As a not-for-profit organization, CIE is funded by the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, the education department of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Jewish Federations of Canada - UIA and local UJA / CJA Federations across Canada. CIE prides itself in playing an active role within the Jewish Federation system. In this regard, Canada Israel Experience is the only Canadian tour organizer that maintains a national network of local Israel Experience representatives. In every major Canadian Jewish community, CIE employs a regional Canada Israel Experience professional ready to facilitate and assist participants in preparing for their Israel Experience.
In addition to helping orient individuals before their trip to Israel, CIE community representatives are also eager to help all interested Canada Israel Experience alumni obtain the necessary tools and knowledge needed to get involved in their home Jewish community and/or return to Israel. Canada Israel Experience boasts that our organization is properly equipped to provide each participant with a more diverse picture of Israel. At least two Canadian staff, an Israeli tour guide, and the necessary security personnel accompany each Canada Israel Experience trip.
