Kibbutzim

Kibbutzim are collective communities in Israel where members share resources, work together, and make decisions democratically. Originating in the early 20th century, they often focus on agriculture, industry, or services. Members contribute their labor and resources, and benefits like housing, education, and healthcare are shared equally. Though they emphasize collective effort and social equality, many kibbutzim have evolved to include private property and individual entrepreneurship. Overall, they exemplify a social experiment in communal living and cooperation, balancing personal needs with community priorities.
