A 2025 study found Birthright trips strengthened Jewish identity, especially among liberals and less connected participants, while non-attendees saw declining ties, despite program disruptions and rising conservatism.
A 2025 Brandeis University study found that North Americans who completed Birthright trips to Israel reported stronger Jewish identity, especially liberals and those with weaker prior ties, while those who applied but did not attend—due to war-related cancellations or personal reasons—showed a significant decline in connection to Jewish values and community.
The program saw a shift toward greater conservatism, with 42% of participants identifying as conservative in 2025, up from 20% in 2023, and increased participation from Orthodox Jews and Jewish day school attendees.
Despite disruptions, including early returns due to conflict, most travelers reported meaningful personal impact, and Birthright leaders say the program remains effective in countering declining Jewish engagement.
