Hodayot (Hebrew: הוֹדָיוֹת) (lit. "Thanksgiving") is a religious boarding school and youth village in the Lower Galilee, Israel. Hodayot was founded in May 1950.[1]
The village is situated on the early site of Kibbutz Lavi, which moved half a kilometer eastward. It has 211 students, many of them of Ethiopian origin.[2] One of the special tracks offered by the high school is a police studies program, with classes in criminology, sociology and crime-solving.[1] The school also has a life sciences and agriculture track. Medicinal herbs based on the teachings of Maimonides are grown in the school's greenhouses, and the students experiment with various composting techniques.
