There is a company that sends Jewish kids age 18-25 to Israel for free. My friend is thinking of doing it, but he doesnt know if its a scam. You have to prove that you are Jewish and there is a $250 deposit.

It sounds like you are talking about the Taglit / Birthright tour. I know the trip used to be free but I don't know if it still is because I think it's run by someone else now. It is possible that it is free though, and with the description you have given about the trip I would NOT say it is scam! I myself went on the tour in 2003 and it was great! Let him have a look into it to find out more...maybe you could join him too! It's an opportunity not to be missed! Have a look here to find out more about birthright:

Some have already answered the correct answer but I'll validate their answer. Birthright Israel is an organization that sends Jews to Israel for free for a 10 day trip. The $250 deposit is only to make sure that you actually go on the trip because the trip is sponsored by many organizations and they don't want that money to go to waste on some person who isn't actually going on the trip. So go on the trip and tell your Jewish friends to go with you and have an awesome time.

The people with the thumbs down have no idea what they're talking about and think that they are so intelligent for saying an untrue statement. It's called Birthright and my brother went on it, although he had already been to Israel curtisy of our large family that lives there. We live there right now, in a small town near Rehovot, and it's aboslutly beautiful! Let me tell you something wonderful about Israel, it really goes to its full potential of keeping their towns looking fun and neat.

It is called birthright and is not a scam. MAKE SURE IT IS REALLY BIRTHRIGHT!! Birthright is a Jewish organization that brings young people to Israel to connect with their heritage. It is free, or very cheap and from what I hear it is a great experience. If you're friend is Jewish and is interested in connecting with his heritage, he should seriously consider it. But once again, make sure it is birthright.

well unlike the people here think it is no scam.
It is called birthright and it is an organization that brings Jews from places like America on a two week trip to Israel.
there are some qualifications such as never being on an organized trip to Israel.

you have to sign up and there is a long waiting list, but in the end it is a free trip.

The answers with the most thumbs up ARE the correct answers. Just make sure it's Birthright Israel 1st. Yes, it is well worth it from what I've been told. I can't wait till my daughter goes on it (if we don't take her on our own 1st)!!!!

It's a scam. If it's free, what on earth would they need a $250 deposit for? Anything "free" should not ask for money, or a credit card.

Of course it's a scam. Anything that offers something for free and then asks for a "deposit" is a scam.
