NEXT A DIVISION OF BRIF
Empowering Alumni to Create & Connect to Jewish Experiences Our community has an unprecedented opportunity to help 10-day Birthright Israel trips spark lifelong Jewish journeys. As the only organization working on behalf of Birthright Israel alumni on a national level, NEXT: A Division of Birthright Israel Foundation leverages this opportunity, building partnerships with organizations big and small – grassroots and mainstream – to create a more dynamic Jewish landscape for the Birthright Israel generation. What does this look like? Take, for instance, the Idea Slam NEXT hosted in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. At this creative brainstorming event, NEXT put a group of local Birthrighters in the ‘driver’s seat’ of their involvement with the Las Vegas Jewish community. In just one hour, they emerged with 100+ ideas for new projects that they believed would engage the city’s growing population of young Jewish adults.
