Livnot U'Lehibanot


To Build & To Be Built

One and Two-Week Volunteering

Your Hands Can Help Rebuild Israel.
Your Heart Will Be Rebuilt Too.

From Kiryat Shmona to the Gaza border, Israel is rebuilding — homes, communities, and the spirit that unites us as one people. At Livnot U’Lehibanot, you’ll join that mission: building homes, hearts, and futures side by side with Israelis.

You’ll spend your days restoring kindergartens, painting playgrounds, and helping families return home. And your nights? Sharing music and stories in the ancient city of Tzfat, celebrating Shabbat with new friends, and feeling the rhythm of the land that beats within every Jewish soul.

This is more than volunteering — it’s connection.

Here, physical work becomes spiritual work. Every brushstroke and every song around the table reconnects you to the DNA of the Jewish people — to a chain of builders stretching from the stones of Tzfat to the spirit of Am Yisrael today.

Join us. Help rebuild Israel — and discover how this build can be the one that builds you.
