The Livnot Journey is a 5-month program, part of the Jewish Agency’s MASA Israel Experience Programs in Israel. The Livnot programs concentrate on community service, hiking and study, seminars and workshops, and incorporate Livnot’s elements of experiential activities of exploring Judaism and Israel in an open and questioning environment. The program is centered in the Northern Israeli town of Tzfat, with a 2-month kibbutz experience built into the program.
