Livnot U'Lehibanot


To Build & Be Built

Volunteer in Israel

The Time to Rebuild is Now

Join us in the mission to rebuild homes, hearts, and futures as we make a difference for Israel’s communities that have been impacted by the war. From Kiryat Shemona to the border of Gaza we can transform tragedy into triumph and ensure that we emerge stronger than ever.

At Livnot U’Lehibanot we've been on a mission for over 40 years to bring Jews from around the world to connect to Israel, themselves and their Jewish roots through meaningful work and experiences. Since October 7th we have had the honor to complete 240 projects in 32 communities with our volunteers and have another 130 projects lined up for the next 3 months. Join us and find out for yourself how this build can be your build that leaves you saying this is the “build that built me!”
