Livnot is the premiere experience geared towards Jews 21-30+ with little or no background in Judaism. The program facilitates an exploration of Israel and Jewish heritage through the medium of fascinating seminars, challenging hikes and rewarding community service projects. Livnot is a community experience. Participants learn, hike, work, live and explore Judaism together. Programs are offered throughout the year, ranging in length from 1 week to Go Galilees. The program is run in English and no prior knowledge of Hebrew or Judaism is required.

An Exploration of Judaism
Classes and workshops are held on topics of interest and relevance to the modern Jew.  Jewish Ethics, Zionism, Nature and Judaism, Mysticism, 
Interpersonal Relationships, Jewish Intimacy and Family, Shabbat and the Jewish Calendar, History, Current Events. 
In addition, participants celebrate Shabbat in a traditional manner as a group and with host families. Livnot is non-denominational and non-coercive. 

Livnot also offers a Community Service Volunteer program open to Jews from all backgrounds. This program is geared at helping the less fortunate here in Israel through physical repairs to homes, parks, working with new immigrants and building up the Old City of Tzfat.

Hikes: Participants experience the thrill of retracing the steps of their ancestors. Hiking is often "off-the-beaten-track" and include the hills of the Galilee, the Golan Heights, the Judean Desert and the secret tunnels of the Bar Kochba revolt. Longer programs enjoy an overnight desert experience and a 3-day hike culminating at the Mediterranean Sea.

Taglit-Birthright 14 days (10 Birthright Israel days and 4 extra days for community service and extra hikes) for Jewish adults ages 21-26. Free

Galilee fellowship: Two weeks, excavate ancient ruins, renovate bomb shelters
