Oranim takes staffing a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip very seriously. The North American Staff are a key component to delivering a meaningful, educational and fun experience for all of our participants. In order to be eligible to staff a trip it is mandatory that you attend staff training session in a city near you. If you attended staff training in November 2007 you are not required to attend staff training again in January or February, but you are welcome to attend again. However, anyone who DID NOT attended staff training in November of 2007 is required to attend training now (regardless of whether you attended a training prior to last November). There are no exceptions. You will not be chosen as staff if you do not attend a session. All potential staffers must also complete a Staff Application. You can complete the application online by clicking here. If you have already completed an application for the Winter 2007-8 season or for the Summer 2008 season you DO NOT have to complete another application. RSVP is Required-please see appropriate RSVP addresses below. **Dates and Times subject to change Full attendance is mandatory and the sessions start promptly at the times stated below. Be on time and plan to stay for the duration. Each session lasts approximately 4 hours. Please bring a pen and paper to take notes. Due to overwhelming response the LA and both New York Staff Training Sessions are now closed. We have over 240 people registered for these three sessions and unfortunately cannot accept any additional rsvps.
