I have no idea. I assume that it's not "let's send non-Jews and leave the Jews at home because they know enough already" and more along the lines of birthright grabbing up the heritage trip market among 18-26s, leaving an audience of mostly adults or non-Jewish students. Of course, this is all conjecture based on nothing. Maybe I've been drinking too much Rashi Moscato D'Asti (oh, the horror!)... Wine Guy, that’s an excellent question. I have no idea.

Does anyone know if Jewish students are prevented from going because there aren't enough places?. Maybe there just isn’t enough interest on the part of jewish students to participate.

This is the type of movie that I needed to come out, and it did. I am so excited. I highly recommend anyone and everyone checking this out.

Only the 'choice' teens were allowed on it and tested for maturity for reasons of being able to confront the horror at such a young age without pyschological ramifications. Nonetheless, us fellow high school kids drooled when they came back and told stories about getting plastered in Jerusalem. So not standing out academically in high school meant that I wouldn't be allowed on the 'march' but in university when the opportunity arrived for a parallel and unassociated trip, I jumped on it and paid for my future wife's ticket as well. While only 5-6 of us were religious, and me not being too 'strong' at the time either, I still was disappointed with the secular way everything was handled. Some other religious students stayed home out of that apprehension and hope of a future religious-oriented trip (you know won't happen) and I think they made a big mistake. That trip, just being in those places, touching the rotting wood, seeing the mass toilets, being in the showers is something we will never forget. If you have the opportunity to do a Poland trip, do not let it pass. I remember the first March of the Living.

Make it easier for parents. Why on earth would Jewish groups fund trips to Poland for non-Jews WHEN THERE ISN'T ENOUGH MONEY AVAILABLE FOR JEWISH EDUCATION?! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love non-Jews, but what is the logic here? Fund all Jewish education: Orthodox, Conservative and even Reform. Make it easier for parents.

Maybe we should fund Jewish educational cheerleading ("Gimme an aleph! Gimme a beis! Gimme a gimmel!"). Sorry. I just wanted to write "Gimme a gimmel"...
