Alumni of free 10-day trips to Israel are being offered two free Jewish-themed books and a year’s subscription to a Jewish publication. In a new project funded by the New York-based Avi Chai Foundation, the 22,000 young adults who have participated in Birthright Israel trips — as well as future alumni — will be able to choose from 170 fiction and nonfiction titles and 14 publications.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
