History
Economy
The kibbutz's main income sources are agriculture, Lavi furniture Industries, a 55-year-old carpentry workshop which manufactures furniture for synagogues around the world, a hotel with facilities suitable for Orthodox Jews as well as other guests and Kibbutz members who work outside, whose salaries are paid to the kibbutz. The village has a religious elementary state school, which also serves other villages in the Regional Council. The children of junior high and high school age study at the "Shaked" school in Sde Eliyahu. There is a religious boarding school called "Hodayot" next to the kibbutz. Because of Lavi's central location in the Lower Galilee, many tourist sites are within walking distance or less than 45 minutes away by car: The Lavi forest, The Horns of Hittin, Nabi Shu'ayb which is regarded by the Druze to be the burial site of the biblical Jethro, The Tzipori National Park, and Safed are a few well-known examples.
