Health Insurance
Important Information:
It is MANDATORY for every participant on all Taglit-Birthright Israel trips to have an extended health insurance policy. This policy must (i) cover pre-existing conditions and (ii) provide coverage in Israel. You will be required to provide us with documentation evidencing this Insurance Policy, including the Insurer's contact information in cases of emergencies in Israel, prior to your departure.
If you do not hold such an insurance policy, YOU MUST purchase one! Without it you will NOT be allowed to travel.
