Join a Solidarity Mission to Rebuild Israel's South

Join the Miami cohort helping to rebuild Gaza border communities on a solidarity mission to Israel, March 23-30. A group of Miamians, ages 21 and older, will spend eight days working alongside professional builders to help revitalize Israel’s war-torn south. The mission is facilitated by the nonprofit Livnot U’Lehibanot (To Build and Be Built), which, since October 7, has completed more than 250 restoration projects throughout communities and army bases on the Gaza border. Participants will volunteer in Netivot and nearby kibbutzim while attending educational workshops and meeting with IDF soldiers. The itinerary also includes visits to the Nova Music Festival memorial site and Miami’s partner city of Yerucham. Shared a former Livnot participant, “We went to rebuild homes; instead the [mission] rebuilt me!” The cost is highly subsidized for individuals ages 21-40.
