Birthright celebrates $70 million in donations from the Adelsons this year

Times of Israel

Sheldon and Miriam Adelson donated some $70 million this year alone to Taglit-Birthright Israel, the organization providing free ten-day trips to Israel for tens of thousands of young Jews each year, the group said.

The organization thanked the couple, who have given some $410 million in total over the years, at a gala event Wednesday marking 18 years since Birthright’s founding. 

Some 33,000 young Jews from around the world are slated to visit Israel on Birthright trips this summer.

The Birthright program, which offers its free trips to Israel to Jews aged 18-26, was founded by Charles Bronfman and real estate magnate Michael Steinhardt in 1999. To date, over 650,000 participants from 67 countries have participated in Birthright trips, according to the organization.

Adelson, a major giver to Jewish and pro-Israel causes, was among the biggest donors to US President Donald Trump’s campaign and his inauguration.

In May, Adelson donated $30 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a political action committee aligned with the Republicans in the House of Representatives, in order to help the House keep its GOP majority. The donation is three times as large as the amount he gave in 2016.

  1. Adelson is a Jew piece of shit, using innocent Americans as a source of income, gambling. Special place in hell for this kike MTFKR. This piece of shit thinks he’s going to heaven, hell is running out of room.

  2. I tattooed a jew who scammed the free trip for the sake of the free trip, not because he cared about being a lying khazar. He brought me a souvenir…a brass dreidel he stole from a street merchant.

    True story and man, it’s got to be in the blood somewhere?! Jeez

  3. Money is no object in keeping our own connected to and in service of our bloodline. So come on down. You’ll love the weather and you can be entertained watching our daily border-disturbances from you hotel window. Plenty of places to explore because we keep expanding and expanding and expanding.
