Home, home on the kibbutz

September 25, 2006 - 3:47 PM by

Jerusalem Gypsy spent the Rosh Hashana holiday visiting a friend at the friend’s small kibbutz. Her lengthy post has wonderful descriptions of her stay there. Here is a piece:

This kibbutz is far from paradise, let me tell you, but there is something special about spending a major holiday with friends whom you started out your life with in Israel (they were on the same absorption center as we were), not having had to spend hours on line in the supermarkets in the pre-holiday madness, not having had to slave over the stove for hours preparing elaborate holiday meals, etc. I just showed up with some Belgian chocolates and expensive vodka, three of my kids and Hubby.

There are only about 6 families and some renters on this kibbutz. It’s tiny. But they have a guest house, which our friend improves on little-by-little each year, which we stay in and check for scorpions first before unpacking our bags.

    Is it a religious kibutz?
    what type of work is being done, is it high tech, or agriculture?
    what is being done with the income profits of the individual families, do they give it all to the kibutz or do you get to keep the income?
    we are about 7 families ranging from 25 years of age to 60 years of age.

    Todah.
