With the gift from the Adelson Foundation, at least twenty thousand youth will be able to participate in the program in 2007. Since its launch in 2000, 120,000 eligible young adults from fifty-one countries have taken part in the program. The program's long-term goal is to provide trips to at least half of all eligible Jewish adults annually.
