SALT LAKE CITY — Jaren, a student at the University of Utah, has been dreaming about going on Birthright since he was six or seven years old.
Birthright is a free, ten-day heritage trip to Israel that any young Jewish person can go on in either the winter or the spring. Many college students go through Hillel groups on campus. Within hours of receiving his acceptance this week to go on the December trip, Jaren declined to go, after seeing everything going on in Israel.
None of the scheduled trips have been canceled yet by Birthright Israel, said Alex Shapiro, Executive Director of the United Jewish Federation of Utah. Safety is a priority, but every young Jewish person deserves to go on Birthright when they want to, said Shapiro.
