Kibbutz Movement

The Kibbutz Movement is a collective community in Israel where members share resources, work together, and make decisions democratically. Originating in the early 20th century, kibbutzim focus on communal living, agriculture, and sometimes industry, emphasizing cooperation and equality. Members typically participate in work and pool income, prioritizing social values over individual profit. While many kibbutzim have evolved toward personal ownership and privatization, they remain symbols of collective effort and social ideals, reflecting a unique model of intentional community rooted in Zionist principles.
