Build the Land. Build Yourself.
Livnot U’Lehibanot offers a transformative Israel experience that connects participants to their heritage through action. We provide an open, inclusive environment for exploring Jewish identity by hiking the country's historic trails, engaging in community service, and participating in soulful workshops. This is a deeper exploration of Israel designed for those seeking a meaningful connection to the land and a better understanding of themselves.
45 years of building israel
LIVNOT'S ORIGINS
Livnot U’Lehibanot was born in 1980 in the Tzfat home of Aharon and Miriam Botzer. Originally envisioned as a sanctuary for travelers seeking deeper meaning and spirituality, it provided a unique space to explore Jewish heritage through action and connection. As the community grew, so did our mission; what began in a family living room expanded into a world-class organization and a National Heritage Site, pioneering the "To Build and Be Built" philosophy that has shaped the Israel experience for over 45 years.
