Here's one: The Livnot Journey
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. The cost of the program is $5400, of which you can apply for a $3000 scholarship from MASA, and perhaps find more funding from local sources. Find out more about our Livnot Journey on our website. http://www.livnot.com/pages/5month
Upcoming dates are February 2nd – June 22nd, and September 2009 and January 2010.
