Live, study and volunteer just a hop away from the Northern Coast city of Haifa!
Kibbutz Yagur is located in the North of Israel, at the base of Mount Carmel. The Kibbutz is approximately 10 minutes from Haifa, with easy transportation to all regions.
Kibbutz Yagur’s Hebrew Ulpan is an excellent place to live, study, work, and experience Israel. Nestled amidst the beautiful Carmel Mountain range, we are conveniently located just fifteen minutes outside of Haifa, with easy access to its many cafes, nightclubs, and cultural activities. We are also nearby to Tsfat, Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee, and the Golan Heights, and only one and a half hours from Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem.
Our Kibbutz – one of the largest in Israel – has many industries for you to be involved in, and can offer access to many of the facilities shared by the Yagur community. We have a dairy farm and a zoo, we produce some of the finest olive oil in the region, and we have a nursery that grows the most beautiful flowers in Israel. Kibbutz Yagur has an Olympic-size pool, basketball and tennis courts, wireless Internet, access to all of the Mt. Carmel hiking trails, and we offer free access to our dance club, the largest in Northern Israel. You will keep busy among our community of 1,500 people.
