Five Days Straight tells the chaotic saga of a group of Jewish-American college students and their accompanying soldiers trapped in a hotel in Israel while on a Birthright (or Taglit) trip. But what is Birthright, you may ask? Birthright is a unique opportunity for all Jewish young adults to visit Israel for ten days free of charge. They get to experience all aspects of Israel, geographical, cultural, religious, and otherwise on trips lead by experts, guides, teachers, and religious officials. Most who have taken advantage of this opportunity will tell you it is a completely remarkable experience, at times extremely profound and at times completely ridiculous.

This is a story of the ridiculous.
