cally or by getting involved in their
Jewish community," Silver said.
"The cost of a trip is $3,000 per
person, but over a lifetime that is a
small portion of what they end up
giving back. As they get older and
more mature, they connect the dots
a little more."
Maxyne Finkelstein, the
Birthright Israel Foundation's chief
operating officer, said the founda-
tion primarily approaches alumni
who are post-college age for a gift;
the majority of participants are 18
and 19.
"We want to wait until they are
working," she said. "The $5,000
donor is terrific, but we also have
a nice grass-roots campaign going
from those who contribute $50
or $100. While the number of
alumni donors continues to grow,
this is not a major revenue source
but rather provides an important
opportunity for alumni and other
young leaders to grow their philan-
thropic involvement in an initiative
that is very important to them.
Many have embraced this oppor-
tunity to 'pay forward' the gift they
were given:'
The median gift from alumni
last year was $36; the median gift
from all donors was $100. Thus, the
major gifts are still very much in
need. The average gift last year was
$3,779, and there were 94 gifts of
$50,000 and above.
Finkelstein pointed out that the
parents of a young man who was
killed two years ago thought so
much of their son's Birthright Israel
experience that they recently raised
more than $2,000 for the founda-
tion.
"They said it was the most
important life experience their son
had ever had," she said.
Steven Bayme, director of
the Contemporary Jewish Life
Department of the American
Jewish Committee, said Birthright
Israel makes "a compelling state-
ment at a time when the Jewish
community is so worried about
Jewish continuity. Birthright is say-
ing nearly 300,000 have gone and
we have long waiting lists, so if the
Jewish community is so worried ...
money should not be the obstacle
to ensuring Jewish continuity.
"The fact that Birthright has got-
ten the kind of numbers it has sug-
gests that at the time when we feel
continuity is in danger, this is the
right message."

the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue
in New York and former execu-
tive director of the Association of
