collective community

A kibbutz is a type of collective community in Israel that is traditionally based on agriculture. The idea behind a kibbutz is to promote communal living, where resources and responsibilities are shared among members. Kibbutzim (plural of kibbutz) were originally established as agricultural communes where members worked together and shared profits equally. Over time, some kibbutzim have diversified and incorporated industries, leading to a broader economic base. Although many kibbutzim have moved towards privatization, the core principles of communal living and cooperation continue to define them.

Etymology

The term 'kibbutz' comes from the Hebrew word 'ืงื™ื‘ื•ืฅ', which means 'gathering' or 'clustering'. The concept of the kibbutz originated in the early 20th century among Jewish immigrants in the land of Israel, influenced by socialist and Zionist ideals. The first kibbutz, Degania Alef, was established in 1909 near the Sea of Galilee. It was based on the principles of communal living, equality, and shared resources. The kibbutzim played a significant role in the establishment of the state of Israel and the development of agricultural practices in the region. Over the decades, the structure of kibbutzim evolved, transitioning from strict communal systems to more flexible models that allow for private ownership and personal initiative. Despite these changes, the core values of community support and cooperation remain central to the concept of the kibbutz.
