Tivnu: All Grown Up

Work, Explore, Connect

No time to become a master carpenter, an activist hero, and a Pinot Noir expert? For five days, join Tivnu: Building Justice and get a taste of all three! Experience the very best of Tivnu on this unforgettable trip for adults from June 13-17, 2027 in Portland, OR. Together, we'll get our hands dirty with meaningful hands-on service and thought-provoking conversations with inspiring activists, Jewish educators, and local changemakers. Each day, when our work is done, we’ll have a chance to appreciate all the city and surroundings have to offer- exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the unique personality of Portland’s bustling neighborhood streets.

"I view my time in Portland as a special opportunity to leave my daily life behind and get inspired by the cultural and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, while also engaging in important social justice work. I was thrilled to forge new relationships and have the opportunity to grow and learn."

– Karen Nathan
