The Kivunim Institute is a co-educational Jewish pluralistic nonprofit organization. The origin of the name comes from its Hebrew translation: literally, "directions." Its main component is its offering of a gap year program to students who have completed high school. The gap year program is based in Jerusalem, where students study Hebrew, Arabic, Jewish History, Visual Arts, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through global travel, students study international Jewish communities, different religions, and various ideologies through experiential learning.[2] The Kivunim Institute is affiliated with Hebrew College, which issues Kivunim students a transcript for their studies. Although the program is centered around Jewish studies, non-Jewish students are permitted to enroll in the program.
