More about Birthright Unplugged:

Birthright Unplugged (BRUP) is the remarkable creation of Dunya Alwan and Hannah Mermelstein. BRUP consists of two innovative and complementary travel programs: Birthright Unplugged and Birthright Re-Plugged. (They are in no way affiliated with Birthright Israel.)

The "Unplugged" trip is designed primarily for Jewish Americans to understanding the conflict by exposing them to the realities of Palestinian life in the occupied West Bank. Participants are encouraged to develop a more complex understanding of the conflict, and to engage in sharing once they return to the U.S.

The "Re-Plugged" trip was designed to take Palestinian children living in West Bank refugee camps to visit the sea, and to see their ancestral villages, crossing the green line into Israel to do so. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, as the children lose the ability to travel freely once they reach age 16.

As the violence intensifies throughout the Middle East, small-scale projects can provide us with hope.

On April 13, we’ll share food, drink, and good company, and hear Dunya and Hannah describe the successes of their project. You'll see a slide show on their fourth successful season of Unplugged and Re-Plugged trips.
