\u201cS\/o [Shout out] to Eckerd College and the best Rabbi ever for the opportunity to go to Israel. Dive in the Red Sea, float in the Dead Sea and explore cities with some other Eckerdians and Israelis for free,\u201d she\u2019d later write on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Lichter, a psychology major<\/a> from Arlington, Va., was one of 11 Eckerd College students to take advantage of the Birthright Israel <\/a>program, which provides an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel for applicants of Jewish faith ages 18 to 26. Birthright has sent more than 500,000 students to Israel since its founding in 1999.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to take the trip, but Eckerd\u2019s Campus Rabbi <\/a>Ed Rosenthal offers one of the most unique, an \u201cUnderwater Birthright.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do this diving, not because it is fun. We do it with a purpose,\u201d Rosenthal explained.<\/p>\n

As adviser to the Eckerd College Environmental Divers Club<\/a>, also known as Scubi Jew<\/a>, Rosenthal helps students of all faiths get advanced SCUBA certification and takes them around the area for service projects such as coral restorations in Key Largo. His Birthright trip, open to students from around the country, took the students on eight scuba-diving expeditions to see Israel\u2019s marine habitats as well as its landmarks. Rosenthal said the cleanup dive near the ancient port of Caesarea was based on the Jewish tenet of Tikkun HaYam, restoring the Earth to its original glory, including the seas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2227″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Members of the Eckerd College Environmental Diving Club (Scubi Jew) were among 30 students to take a summer trip to Israel and dive to clean up the\u00a0Mediterranean\u00a0near the ancient port of Caesarea.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cIt was so nasty. We filled up 12 to 15 mesh bags with garbage in about three hours,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cIt was mostly bottles, cans, chunks of plastic and metal. It was just ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n

From May 29 to June 9, Rosenthal\u2019s group saw Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat and the Golan Heights\u2014and floated on the Dead Sea. Students also met with Dr. Baruch Rinkevic<\/a>h of Israel\u2019s National Institute of Oceanography<\/a> and learned about coral restoration projects similar to Scubi Jew\u2019s happening in his country.<\/p>\n

Sophia MacVittie \u201919, an Eckerd marine science major from New York and Scubi Jew member, stayed on for the summer as an intern in Rinkevich\u2019s lab.<\/p>\n

Rosenthal has led two Underwater Birthright trips, but it is unclear if he will be leading one next summer. \u201cIf they approve it again, I\u2019ll be happy to go back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2231″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Students float in the world famous Dead Sea in between eight exploration dives in Israel.
