Established by Kibbutz members, the Center was and is a pioneer for environmental change in Israel. We believe that everyone can be empowered to make better decisions for their community, surrounding nature and the world. We educate on a diverse range of topics to small groups, universities and associations.

Kibbutz Lotan is on the flight pathway for thousands of birds each year that migrate from Europe to Africa and back. Bird watchers come in droves every year to study these winged beauties and we offer tours and lectures on them.
Since our foundation in 1983, we have grown to the size we are today. We have learned about communication, cooperation, leadership and empowerment. We strive for understanding and tolerance in our small community with a foundation in Reform Judaism and environmentalism.
We support ourselves through our various businesses. We own solar fields, date orchards, a successful dairy, an environmental education institute and tourist facilities and accommodation.
We live, eat and work together at Lotan. Every Friday we offer a Kabbalat Shabbat service in our community hall, the Moadon. Afterwards we have a communal meal in the dining hall in which guests and tourists are invited. We also gather for birthdays, weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.
Young adults come to work with us every year in our date orchards, gardens, dairy, tourism and communal kitchen. They quickly become part of the community and leave with warm experiences. We offer accommodation, food and a small stipend.
