Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz Jewish World Correspondent: U.S. billionaire Adelson pledges $60 million to birthright program
Talkback
Title:Match $60 mil for ISRAEL, not just jewish tourists
Name:new immigrant
City: State: Israek
As a birthright alumni (`00) and now Israeli (Aliyah `06) I obviously appreciate this program and wouldn`t be in Israel if not for that initial free "taste" of Israel seven years ago. BUT, now as an Israeli, I wish rich Americans would look more closely and not only strenthen the connection young diaspora Jews have with Israel, but think about the youth IN Israel who have no connection with the Diaspora. It`s an important missing link.
