About GCI

The Galilee Culinary Institute by Jewish National Fund-USA (GCI) is a first-of-its-kind, total-immersion culinary institution located in the heart of Israel’s Galilee, in Kibbutz Gonen. Nestled in a unique micro-climate where fertile farmland, mountains, and rivers converge, the region is poised to become Israel’s premier hub for agriculture, tourism, and food innovation—on par with destinations like Tuscany and Napa Valley. GCI serves as a catalyst for population growth, regional development, and narrative change throughout the Upper Eastern Galilee.
