Just a plug, FYI -- anyone 18-26 and of vaguely Jewish descent can have a free trip to Israel via the Birthright organization. There is minimal religion and maximum Zionism. Also no time to check out the startup scene, but it's still a lot of fun.
Free means free, they cover airfare from NYC or LA and many meals. $250 deposit is required to reserve your spot. Email me if you have any questions.

- aswanson 19y agoHe's just letting people know about a trip they can take. What's wrong with that? ( I didn't downmod you, BTW).
- technoguyrob 19y agoSorry. Just the usual negative connotations with "Zionism" (thanks, ADL) coupled with his claim of "free[1] ([1] that is, $250)" made it sound like spam.
- jakewolf 19y agoIt's a deposit to make sure people don't bail out. You get it back afterwards.
- mixmax 19y agoI just think that as soon as Israel is involved there is tension in the air. Everybody has a strong opinion about Israel, me included. I won't vent it here though - this isn't reddit.
- jonathan 19y agoYes he honestly did! And this trip is amazing..
- pius 19y agoMy buddy went on this and had a blast. If I were Jewish, I'd be all over it.

- cstejerean 19y agoI've had several friends go on this and everyone enjoyed it. From what I hear there was a lot of drinking and partying and not much of anything else (or at least that's all that the people I spoke with remembered).
