LJY-Netzer

LJY-Netzer (ljy-נצ"ר – Liberal Jewish Youth-Netzer) is one of two British branches (snifim) of Netzer Olami, the International Progressive Reform Zionist Youth Movement.

Kayitz lasts two weeks and focuses on issues of Diaspora Jewry, Zionism in relation to European history and the Shoah (Holocaust).

The aim of the course is to teach participants about and experience first-hand Israel and the Zionist ideals that helped to build it.

Both involve living in Jerusalem and daily lessons such as Judaism, Israeli history and culture and Hebrew.

The final portion of the programme offers participants a choice of Kibbutz, Shnat B'ir and Shvil Yisrael, a hike along the length of Israel.
