On Wednesday, Jewish young adults will be able to register online for a free peer-group trip to Israel this winter.
The trip is covered by a program called Taglit-Birthright Israel and is funded by private philanthropists, Birthright alumni, the Israeli government and other organizations.
"Going on this trip changed my perspective on Israel," said Rachel Benjamin, a UF sophomore. "It also really helped me get more involved in my Jewish identity."
Israel fellow Dana Ben-Chail coordinates the program at Hillel through IsraelExperts. She said Hillel is a home away from home for Jewish students.
Registration begins at noon Wednesday and will be open for 24 hours. A refundable $250 deposit is required to hold one's place.
To register, go to Birth Right Israel or call Dana Ben-Chail at 352-359-9545.
