  Since 1999 hundreds of thousands of young American Jews have visited Israel on an all-expense-paid 10-day pilgrimage-tour known as Birthright Israel. Based on seven years of first-hand observation in modern day Israel, the author provides an on-the-ground look at this hotly debated and widely emulated use of tourism to forge transnational ties.
