Birthright

My brother just got back from Israel. He went on a Birthright trip, with an organization called Oranim. I spoke to him earlier, and although he sounded like he was about to pass out from exhaustion, he told me the one major thing he learned and decided on the trip - that from now on, he only wants to date Jewish girls. I asked him what exactly made him decide such a thing, and he said that they had a speaker talk, and that seeing things like Yad Vashem impressed upon him enough the importance of marrying Jewish and carrying on his heritage. He made it clear not to expect him to become Orthodox (I didn't expect such) but that he is making baby steps and that he thinks it's important. Based on that alone, I think Birthright is doing an excellent job.
