This is what socialist/far-left should be doing in the USA instead of trying to turn the central government into one giant commune.

An excellent piece - have just seen it now. I delighted so many kibbutzim still exist. I'm not Jewish, but in 1983, I spent 3 months on Kibbutz Magen as a volunteer. It was one of the best experiences of my life. At the time, I was encouraged to think about joining and for many years thereafter I regretted my decision to leave. I still admire the philosophy of shared contribution and shared reward - a far more preferable way of life than the shallow, greedy, accumulative, corrupt societies we find ourselves part of today. Such a pity that the model hasn't taken off in other parts of the world in building meaningful communities.
was a kibbutz volunteer back in 2010 at Kibbutz Lahav. I share the exact same words you did. Fantastic personal experience and the kibbutz itself is also a great social experiment too! Greetings from Brazil!
Lol, it's not. Daniel Gavron wrote a book about his experience raised in one and the current struggles they face. While entirely sympathetic to what these communities attempt to provide, the incentive problem as well as the unavoidable economic calculation problem has dwindled these communities to a handful. And the ones currently surviving do so because they provide marketable goods to the outside world that churn out profits.
@@راديو76 The right & religious took over because they became the majority, that's called democracy. 90% of the new immigrants in the 1950's were orthodox right-wingers, but the Israeli communists used forced secularization to try & control them for political & ideological benefit. That's NOT democracy. Finally, in 1977, the right-wing arose & defeated the left-wing. The left-wing is still trying to rule the country through the Supreme Court, the leftist media & the police, yet they are STILL losing power every day.
It was a great experience!! was there for 6 months back in 2005! been in two different kibbutz!love from INDIA! also not all kibbutz are the same they varies in different layouts and productions(factories) and also amenities and food!

As a secular Protestant (non practicing) here in the Midwest (metro Cincinnati) I am impressed with how well the Kibbutz concept works for those who opt for the lifestyle & life associated with its social constructs. I don't think I could give up my suburban (Bourgeois) life as this is what I have known all my (almost) 59 years of life. But for those who want a more communal sense of life with similarly shared experiences, this is a really cool concept! Thanks for sharing with us. It was interesting and informative!
The reason it works is the people want to be there. Socialism on a country scale doesn’t work because some people don’t want to contribute or are too lazy too
This beautiful homeland is Palestine, and these beautiful houses were built on the blood of the Palestinians who were killed by Israel and expelled from their homes (these lands belong to the Palestinians and they still have the civil legal documents for their homes and lands), then they built this town and decorated it so that the Israelis who came from all over the world could enjoy it. the truth will not die, and one day the truth will emerge in spite of the evil people
@@chahrazed6143Palestine? You mean Egypt. Gaza was part of Egypt until the 6 day war. Ottoman Empire never called it Palestine and Quran never mentioned it either. Jews have lived in these lands before Arabs, Islam and Romans came around.
@@chahrazed6143Squeal louder. Your lies are unending as is the Arab propensity for starting wars against Jews. Jews bought their own land and formed kibbutz and other communities. They stole nothing. The Arabs have been killing Jews since even before 1919 when the Ottomans were defeated and every war in Israel has been started by Arabs. Moreover, Arab invaders have no place in Israel.
@@rienavoir8250 more like communism, actually. With socialism, you still have private ownership except for means of production and have to pay for services like utilities, transportation, food, medicines, entertainment etc. True, it's not as expensive as in a capitalist system because the socialist economy is not profit oriented but many things are not free. In these kibbutz communities (if the video is true) it looks like you own nothing except clothes you were and don't pay for anything other than the contribution you make through your work. Money basically are meaningless unless you go outside the community. I grew up in USSR and that's exactly what we were told about communism at school, how our society would work in future if we manage to "build" communism. The only difference is the scale and absence of the larger state structure (communism is supposed have a stateless society of these kibbutz-like communities).
Visit Kibbutz Ein Dor, near the city of Afula (Northern Israel). I lived there in 1989 and I can safely say it was the BEST time of my life. Just don't go in the summer, go in December up to March.
What a beautiful way to live , that is what you call a community , not suited for all types of people so i can understand why they would be very carefull in their selection of choosing who they would accept in living in their communities , I did not know that this type of lifestyle even existed , how envious i am..... i wish you all a happy and peaceful life .
@@priscillavelazquezs It is impossible to put civilised people amongst barbarians , i understand the response Israel has taken . Unfortunately you can not change the mentality of the Arab Nations or mindset which they want the rest of the world to live in , maybe if they loved their childrens & their future more than they hate their enemies will things change . Hoping for peace and love for all Israelies & their enemies .
Great video!!!! Actually I live in a kibbutz-like community here in Spain. People who never lived so can't understand it. But it's great to live your God-given life not only thinking about yourSELF , but for the others too. And when the people who live there think about each other and care about each other the life is much much easier!!!! Shalom al kol am Israel!!!
I am looking for à place liké this since 30 years ..bur all that I found was communities who fonctionned with practized sectarism. Just living and work together- impossible for those
its well worth being a volunteer. In this world where there is so much selfishness and greed some time spent living together will really make you question how the rest of the world lives...certainly other western countries/societys.
That's why I say it will only work in small communities of like minded people and NOT as a larger and only system in a country. The people in the Kibbutz are there by choice and can leave that system anytime they want. Not so if it's the system of an entire country.
I am an Indian(hindu) and i personally find Jews best amongst all Abrahamic religions. Coz. 1. *they dont try to convert others* 2. *they practice their religion peacefully* 3. *they are very hard working* 4. *just like us* .. "live and let live attitude". 5. *people with high IQ*

I would imagine a similar climate to Cyprus. Been to Cyprus a few times and it's pleasantly warm even in November. 5000 shekels = £1068 or $1323. At 6 shekels a meal that's just £1.28 or $1.59. No rent, no council tax. Electric? I would imagine no heating req. at any time but air con not sure about. These days I imagine a lot of the electricity requirement is satisfied by solar panels. This vid has got me seriously interested.
I have a stupid question about eating in a kibbutz. What is you don't feel like eating in a noisy cafeteria like setting ... do they have any smaller rooms there where a person could maybe only sit with a few people and it's much more quiet ? What if you really just want to take the food home and eat your meal and your little apartment or house ? Are you allowed to put it in containers and go eat it at home ?
@@gardensofthegods a lot of the communal living associated with kibbutz has been ditched over the years by many , but not all kibbutzim .The dining room used to be the centre of the kibbutz in so many ways ( I could go on and on , but I won't ) , but to answer your question , on some kibbutzim , some members do bring food containers to the dining room , then trot off home to eat , it all depends where one works , meal breaks are not infinite , and if you're working in the fields far from your home , you will have to manage your time carefully .
As a quick guide, a shekel is about the same as a US quarter, so they're making $1200 a month but most everything taken care of, and most of it better than 90% of us have it in the US. Especially health care.
This kind of community can only exist only if everyone knows everyone and there is a high trust society where people feel obligated to pull their own weight. Otherwise - this is just impractical. Nice concept tho.
I'm watching this just over a week after Hamas attacked a Kibbutz in Israel. I don't know which Kibbutz this is but I wonder if the people in the video are OK!
Don't worry. They're fine. Also, lately they've been able to help families, that needed to evacuate from their homes and also to make a decent contribution to the areas that have been brutally damaged. So good for them!
Well, taxation isn't a requirement for socialism, but it's the only way with how lazy socialists are 😂 There are 2 ways to generate value in the world. 1. Time 2. Money If socialists are lazy and don't want to give their time, they go after your money. The kibbutz everyone works from young so the time fuels the economy. Socialism doesn't work not because it can't work, it doesn't work because humans screw it up.

Why wouldn't anyone not want to live in this environment....it sounds perfect. It is also a brilliant idea for the people and poverty in our townships here in South Africa.
yes, it would be, but most people do not qualify, because the amount of rules are huge. not going to work is not an option unless you are genuinely ill. not everybody can do the job they want to. etc etc
the ANC government is too corrupt ( and racist ) to have such a smart idea like this come to fruition in the RSA , ESPECIALLY if it originated from Israel ( and YES I did visit a couple of townships when I visited the RSA )
This only works if everyone takes accountability and works hard. Sadly South Africans have made it a habbit to blame the government and white people for all their problems, so it's probably not going to work there.
It could be an example to a World fast going down the hole. It isn't Paradise and can even be a sort of Hell to some but altogether it has a lot to offer especially in a very difficult and expensive Country like Israel is. There is a saying that it is Paradise for kids and old people with the between time years more of a challenge. I just heard that a group of Israelis are establishing a Kibbutz in Portugal where vacant land is available and relatively cheap.
Would love to know where that is in Portugal. I lived in a Kibbutz back in the 90ies. Life changing exp. I think the model would be great for old people in most countries...Weird that other countries didn't try this model more.
I wish Finland, Karelia and Estonia became a single united ethnostate and started kibbutzim. I would LOVE to live a more traditional lifestyle, farming and producing for my people and writing in my free time.
The only reason this works is because it is Highly Discriminatory, in that they can choose who they allow and who they don’t, and also it is mutually chosen, i.e., the people choose to be there and the the people there choose who they let in. Also, the cultural homogeneity of the people is key. You can’t have something like this where a few people believe they are doing everything as to the glory of god, and the other people are doing, just good enough. Socialism as a government / complete economic system will never work because it is forced on everyone, and the majority of people will choose to be freeloaders, while the rest of the people will work to support the majority.
It works because they are careful to have people who actually want to work and contribute to both the kibbutz and the country. Kibbutzim are successful precisely because they have a motivated membership who want to cooperate for the greater good. Kibbutzim were founded by secular Jews for the most part, though there are some religious kibbutzim. This is not about discrimination. Would you call hiring the best person for a job in a company discriminatory, because they are ones most likely to not only personally succeed, but contribute to the success of the company?
I watched it today, and realized that Hamas has destroyed the same community. If I had a chance, would like to spend around 2-3months in Kibbutz and learn how this utopian sysytem works.
Long back, some Indian villages (only those that are homogenous in terms of caste) used to function as Kibutzes (not this glamorous but same level of emotional connect within the members). It was like socialism implemented the right away. The only thing was it couldn't support a corporate structure that is required to produce industrial scale products. I am amazed at Israelis that they are not only able to blend both, but are able to succeed in that regard. Most importantly, Kibbutz like communities play a very important role in safeguarding overall mental health of the individuals and is immune to negative side effects of feminism, individualism and other divisive ideologies because they are centered around practicality.

Sounds like the communal Mennonites and the sharing farm Amish. Not unusual my family lives this way in PA Dutch country with most circling around the church. My family is Jewish and socialist but I went to a Mennonite school. The Mennonites are basically Religious Socialist. If your Mennonite your family has to give you a Job so no worries. The church pays for everything so no worries.
@@memenadekhanh3992 The wealthy have social capitalism. The federal reserve Is the bank they call when in trouble. More welfare goes to the top 10 percent then the bottom 90 percent. Working together as a group, as a tribe, as a family keeps power centered within the group. Think mafia, church, police unions, Ford, Vanderbilt, etc. A union is socialism and the police union or teacher union gives those in career protection. The Mennonites where I live are the power, and the protection. People join groups for protection. Social Security is Socialism. America has been a socialist nation since the 1930s and is certainly not democratic. American companies always get bail outs and tax credits. America is a Socialist Republic ruled by a connected ruling family organization with different rules for them. Mennonites are a mirror image of the ruling class as the Kibbutz is. If you get American Social Security you practice Socialism. Tax credits, tax breaks, bail outs for broken companies are all Socialist activities. Reasons enough.

Kibbutz has government support too. The government has incentive for people to move to land near Gaza and West Bank to legitimize the government claims of those lands.
Judaism is filled with so much knowledge and teachings on how to take of yourself and your community. While this system is good for some countries, the U.S is reliant on free market capitalistic lifestyles for its citizens and for its GDP so that it can sustain its ability to secure free trade for the world with its navy and ensure combat capability with its air force.
Have to say... this seems like "life perfection"... I'm a Swede (not jewish) and seems like 80's Swedish (mix between market/state economy)... In some cases it this seem a lot more state/(kibbutz) then market but in other it seems more market... Sweden changed from a lot of state own utility (tax funded) to a more free market funded utilities and maybe today it works, sort of... but it I think we pay more and get less, and it is not as safe/secure as I wanted to be... somethings should be for its citizens (tax funded) and not free market and somethings should be free market stuff... there is always a perfect balance.. I don't think Sweden has it yet... This Kibbutz seems to have a nice balance...
Since I first heard about it when I was little, I’ve always dreamed of joining kibbutz. The only problem is that I’m atheist and I doubt I would be desirable to the community. I’m a hard working, caring, matronly woman but I think that I would be vetoed due to my lack of religious beliefs sadly. All peace and love to the kibbutz communities though. They were living the dream until hamas reared their ugly heads 😔🤬. Peace and love from Scotland ❤✌🏻🏴
Most kibbutzim and kibbutzniks (kibbutz members) are secular. If you're ethnically Jewish (i.e. able to make aliyah) that may be sufficient, on the religious issue. Also, kibbutzim are located all over Israel, not just in the Gaza Envelope (the area Hamas attacked). The kibbutz in this video is located near Haifa.

@@DeenAcademy-k6tYou really should study the history of Israel and the conflict instead of just listening to propaganda. Firstly, there was never a national Arab sovereign nation called "Palestine" - never existed in recorded history. It is a fallacy cooked up by the Arabs, the majority of whom fled the country during the '48 war of independence - most of them were not forcibly evicted. Secondly, kibbutzim purchased the land for their settlements from Arab landowners. Those owners were usually absentee landlords that lived in the surrounding Arab countries. Thirdly, the Jews had a long, long history in the land, as well as a national government that ruled for hundreds of years, until the land was invaded and occupied by the Babylonians, the Greeks, the Persians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Ottoman Turks and finally the British, during WWI. All of the above were occupiers - they were never native to the land. The Jews began their return during the Ottoman era. Land was purchased, not stolen.

@@راديو76 The right & religious took over because they became the majority, that's called democracy. 90% of the new immigrants in the 1950's were orthodox right-wingers, but the Israeli communists used forced secularization to try & control them for political & ideological benefit. That's NOT democracy. Finally, in 1977, the right-wing arose & defeated the left-wing. The left-wing is still trying to rule the country through the Supreme Court, the leftist media & the police, yet they are STILL losing power every day.
great video! im from this kibbuts and i can only say this is the best way to live!
It was a great experience!! was there for 6 months back in 2005! been in two different kibbutz!love from INDIA! also not all kibbutz are the same they varies in different layouts and productions(factories) and also amenities and food!

It is very lonley in Canada in the Winter if you have no family or wife.. very quiet and still....minus 40 centigrade.
I came here because of the news reports of, Kibbutz homes being attacked by Hamas parasites. Ive heard of the word but did not know what it meant. Found out is was a home. What a lovely way to live.

Kibbutz are also armed and serve as a first line defence...it would make sense they would be targeted.
As a secular Protestant (non practicing) here in the Midwest (metro Cincinnati) I am impressed with how well the Kibbutz concept works for those who opt for the lifestyle & life associated with its social constructs. I don't think I could give up my suburban (Bourgeois) life as this is what I have known all my (almost) 59 years of life. But for those who want a more communal sense of life with similarly shared experiences, this is a really cool concept! Thanks for sharing with us. It was interesting and informative!
The reason it works is the people want to be there. Socialism on a country scale doesn’t work because some people don’t want to contribute or are too lazy too
We love you Israel. Rest in Peace to the lives lost.

@@EIonMusk1 There is a small Town like in this video, all people in this town have been killed by Hamas. Also many of children.

This beautiful homeland is Palestine, and these beautiful houses were built on the blood of the Palestinians who were killed by Israel and expelled from their homes (these lands belong to the Palestinians and they still have the civil legal documents for their homes and lands), then they built this town and decorated it so that the Israelis who came from all over the world could enjoy it.

The Arabs have been killing Jews since even before 1919 when the Ottomans were defeated and every war in Israel has been started by Arabs. Moreover, Arab invaders have no place in Israel.
Pretty clever concept ❤
this is literally socialism!! what America is completely against, but except that here it actually works and isn't corrupt.
@@rienavoir8250 more like communism, actually.
With socialism, you still have private ownership except for means of production and have to pay for services like utilities, transportation, food, medicines, entertainment etc. True, it's not as expensive as in a capitalist system because the socialist economy is not profit oriented but many things are not free.
In these kibbutz communities (if the video is true) it looks like you own nothing except clothes you were and don't pay for anything other than the contribution you make through your work. Money basically are meaningless unless you go outside the community.
I grew up in USSR and that's exactly what we were told about communism at school, how our society would work in future if we manage to "build" communism. The only difference is the scale and absence of the larger state structure (communism is supposed have a stateless society of these kibbutz-like communities).
@@aumelb yup! Well I'm happy it works for them, not a bad concept at all

Great video!!!! Actually I live in a kibbutz-like community here in Spain. People who never lived so can't understand it.

Dictatorship is opposite to democracy. Socialist is opposite to capitalist. One is a political system...the other is an economic system.
@@janettucker3196 How about social democracy? equality with respect for human rights
That's why I say it will only work in small communities of like minded people and NOT as a larger and only system in a country. The people in the Kibbutz are there by choice and can leave that system anytime they want. Not so if it's the system of an entire country.

No rent, no council tax. Electric? I would imagine no heating req. at any time but air con not sure about. These days I imagine a lot of the electricity requirement is satisfied by solar panels.

KIBBUTZ FOOD IS AMAZING.
I have a stupid question about eating in a kibbutz.
What is you don't feel like eating in a noisy cafeteria like setting ... do they have any smaller rooms there where a person could maybe only sit with a few people and it's much more quiet ?
What if you really just want to take the food home and eat your meal and your little apartment or house ? Are you allowed to put it in containers and go eat it at home ?
@@gardensofthegods yes, there is no problem at all to grab the food you want in a container and bring it home or wherever you want to eat it :)
@@gardensofthegods a lot of the communal living associated with kibbutz has been ditched over the years by many , but not all kibbutzim .The dining room used to be the centre of the kibbutz in so many ways ( I could go on and on , but I won't ) , but to answer your question , on some kibbutzim , some members do bring food containers to the dining room , then trot off home to eat , it all depends where one works , meal breaks are not infinite , and if you're working in the fields far from your home , you will have to manage your time carefully .
As a quick guide, a shekel is about the same as a US quarter, so they're making $1200 a month but most everything taken care of, and most of it better than 90% of us have it in the US. Especially health care.

@@f3mcell373Because Hamas keeps attacking Israel and the hostages are still being kept there. What a ridiculous and insolent question.
This kind of community can only exist only if everyone knows everyone and there is a high trust society where people feel obligated to pull their own weight. Otherwise - this is just impractical. Nice concept tho.
that's why there is a strict regulation on who can get in (like marriage or be a jew).
I'm watching this just over a week after Hamas attacked a Kibbutz in Israel. I don't know which Kibbutz this is but I wonder if the people in the video are OK!
Don't worry. They're fine. Also, lately they've been able to help families, that needed to evacuate from their homes and also to make a decent contribution to the areas that have been brutally damaged. So good for them!
This is excellent.
Kibbutz is one of the examples that socialism (sometimes) worked
Socialism without taxation? That really does sound like utopia.
The kibutz I’m sure pay taxes
Well, taxation isn't a requirement for socialism, but it's the only way with how lazy socialists are 😂
There are 2 ways to generate value in the world.
1. Time
2. Money
If socialists are lazy and don't want to give their time, they go after your money.
The kibbutz everyone works from young so the time fuels the economy.
Socialism doesn't work not because it can't work, it doesn't work because humans screw it up.
The kibbutz pays the taxes on behalf of its members, i.e. not tax free

yes, it would be, but most people do not qualify, because the amount of rules are huge. not going to work is not an option unless you are genuinely ill. not everybody can do the job they want to. etc etc
Because you have family and responsability elsewhere...
the ANC government is too corrupt ( and racist ) to have such a smart idea like this come to fruition in the RSA , ESPECIALLY if it originated from Israel ( and YES I did visit a couple of townships when I visited the RSA )
i want to reply but ill be accused of being racist so i wont write the truth
This only works if everyone takes accountability and works hard. Sadly South Africans have made it a habbit to blame the government and white people for all their problems, so it's probably not going to work there.
I used to work in a Kibbutz as a Swiss National in 1996 for 3 months called Revivim
Interesting but how is it funded. Nothing is ever “free”
The kibbutzim are self-sustaining using the proceeds of the businesses they run.

In parts of the Congo and surrounding areas of the African continent, there is similar communities just as advanced.

There's a vey good one called irony.
It could be an example to a World fast going down the hole.
It isn't Paradise and can even be a sort of Hell to some but altogether it has a lot to offer especially in a very difficult and expensive Country like Israel is.
There is a saying that it is Paradise for kids and old people with the between time years more of a challenge.
I just heard that a group of Israelis are establishing a Kibbutz in Portugal where vacant land is available and relatively cheap.
Would love to know where that is in Portugal. I lived in a Kibbutz back in the 90ies. Life changing exp. I think the model would be great for old people in most countries...Weird that other countries didn't try this model more.

I wish Finland, Karelia and Estonia became a single united ethnostate and started kibbutzim. I would LOVE to live a more traditional lifestyle, farming and producing for my people and writing in my free time.
Yelsä Vidaravskaja That would be awesome, I wish you Uralic fellows good luck from Poland.
Not likely. Karelia is part of Russia.
Thanks for clarifying that - I used to confuse Kibbutz with Caboose. I was like, wow! a bunch of Israelis live on trains😊
I thought a kibbutz was a tent 😂
Originally they were.
No thanks I don’t want no part of this.
The communists protected by the capitalists. That is unique!
The only reason this works is because it is Highly Discriminatory, in that they can choose who they allow and who they don’t, and also it is mutually chosen, i.e., the people choose to be there and the the people there choose who they let in. Also, the cultural homogeneity of the people is key. You can’t have something like this where a few people believe they are doing everything as to the glory of god, and the other people are doing, just good enough. Socialism as a government / complete economic system will never work because it is forced on everyone, and the majority of people will choose to be freeloaders, while the rest of the people will work to support the majority.
It works because they are careful to have people who actually want to work and contribute to both the kibbutz and the country. Kibbutzim are successful precisely because they have a motivated membership who want to cooperate for the greater good. Kibbutzim were founded by secular Jews for the most part, though there are some religious kibbutzim. This is not about discrimination. Would you call hiring the best person for a job in a company discriminatory, because they are ones most likely to not only personally succeed, but contribute to the success of the company?
Spoken like someone who has certainly never been to this particular kibbutz.
I watched it today, and realized that Hamas has destroyed the same community. If I had a chance, would like to spend around 2-3months in Kibbutz and learn how this utopian sysytem works.
Hamas destroyed the southern kibbutzim. This one is in the north and has taken in many people from those communities.
Sounds a lot like catalonia during the spanish civil war
I could live there. Could I? What's the catch?
Long back, some Indian villages (only those that are homogenous in terms of caste) used to function as Kibutzes (not this glamorous but same level of emotional connect within the members). It was like socialism implemented the right away. The only thing was it couldn't support a corporate structure that is required to produce industrial scale products. I am amazed at Israelis that they are not only able to blend both, but are able to succeed in that regard.
Most importantly, Kibbutz like communities play a very important role in safeguarding overall mental health of the individuals and is immune to negative side effects of feminism, individualism and other divisive ideologies because they are centered around practicality.
I'm gonna live there in kibbutz for sure❤
Looks like a cult.
Seandainya negaraku ( Indonesia ) punya hubungan diplomatik dengan Israel tentunya kami akan banyak mendapat manfaat oleh hubungan diplomatik itu .

Sounds like the communal Mennonites and the sharing farm Amish. Not unusual my family lives this way in PA Dutch country with most circling around the church. My family is Jewish and socialist but I went to a Mennonite school. The Mennonites are basically Religious Socialist. If your Mennonite your family has to give you a Job so no worries. The church pays for everything so no worries.
can you explain how socialism has so much appeal to those type of people???
@@memenadekhanh3992 The wealthy have social capitalism. The federal reserve Is the bank they call when in trouble. More welfare goes to the top 10 percent then the bottom 90 percent. Working together as a group, as a tribe, as a family keeps power centered within the group. Think mafia, church, police unions, Ford, Vanderbilt, etc. A union is socialism and the police union or teacher union gives those in career protection. The Mennonites where I live are the power, and the protection. People join groups for protection. Social Security is Socialism. America has been a socialist nation since the 1930s and is certainly not democratic. American companies always get bail outs and tax credits. America is a Socialist Republic ruled by a connected ruling family organization with different rules for them. Mennonites are a mirror image of the ruling class as the Kibbutz is. If you get American Social Security you practice Socialism. Tax credits, tax breaks, bail outs for broken companies are all Socialist activities. Reasons enough.
it's when you sneeze really hard
Same type of community is there in Kerala, India called sidhshram ,headquartered in vatakara, Calicut district.and kurumathur in Kannur district...also in Salem , state of Tamil Nadu, India

Wow... I really love to live in one of the kibbutz
This isn't the same as socialism or communism. This only works when everyone wants to do it, not when it is forced by the government upon people.
Socialism is an economic model, not a system of government. The kibbutzim function as socialist economies.

Is they have Bowling in Kibbutz?
I suspect there's much outside of Israel financial support for a Kibbutz. No way could that work without outside financial support.
Kibbutz has government support too. The government has incentive for people to move to land near Gaza and West Bank to legitimize the government claims of those lands.

Have to say... this seems like "life perfection"... I'm a Swede (not jewish) and seems like 80's Swedish (mix between market/state economy)... In some cases it this seem a lot more state/(kibbutz) then market but in other it seems more market...
Sweden changed from a lot of state own utility (tax funded) to a more free market funded utilities and maybe today it works, sort of... but it I think we pay more and get less, and it is not as safe/secure as I wanted to be... somethings should be for its citizens (tax funded) and not free market and somethings should be free market stuff... there is always a perfect balance.. I don't think Sweden has it yet...
This Kibbutz seems to have a nice balance...
Since I first heard about it when I was little, I’ve always dreamed of joining kibbutz. The only problem is that I’m atheist and I doubt I would be desirable to the community. I’m a hard working, caring, matronly woman but I think that I would be vetoed due to my lack of religious beliefs sadly. All peace and love to the kibbutz communities though. They were living the dream until hamas reared their ugly heads 😔🤬.
Peace and love from Scotland ❤✌🏻🏴
Most kibbutzim and kibbutzniks (kibbutz members) are secular. If you're ethnically Jewish (i.e. able to make aliyah) that may be sufficient, on the religious issue.
Also, kibbutzim are located all over Israel, not just in the Gaza Envelope (the area Hamas attacked). The kibbutz in this video is located near Haifa.
Did you ask yourself why they are giving all these things for free? Didn't you think of the native citizens who used to live in these lands? .. and do you really believe that all people there are religious?!! Haha,, all of them wants things easy and free, exactly like what you want
@@achatsgpr3294 what an excuse for kicking people out of their houses killing them and stealing their culture!! i think also europeans lived in America and Australia before red indians isn't it? is that why they are supporting Israel now maybe?! before reviewing history please review your humanity
@@DeenAcademy-k6tYou really should study the history of Israel and the conflict instead of just listening to propaganda. Firstly, there was never a national Arab sovereign nation called "Palestine" - never existed in recorded history. It is a fallacy cooked up by the Arabs, the majority of whom fled the country during the '48 war of independence - most of them were not forcibly evicted. Secondly, kibbutzim purchased the land for their settlements from Arab landowners. Those owners were usually absentee landlords that lived in the surrounding Arab countries. Thirdly, the Jews had a long, long history in the land, as well as a national government that ruled for hundreds of years, until the land was invaded and occupied by the Babylonians, the Greeks, the Persians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Ottoman Turks and finally the British, during WWI. All of the above were occupiers - they were never native to the land. The Jews began their return during the Ottoman era. Land was purchased, not stolen.
To the contrary, folk in Kibbutzes are known to be both very secular and Atheist. Saying that as an Israeli, born and raised

hi
Did you have succes for living there now ?
Socialism works, provided all members agree to accept the life style. Smaller communities can do it much easier than a large country.
I personally prefer Capitalism (that's just the way God happened to make me) but this sure was an interesting alternative lifestyle.
bizzwoofer Do God made you to be a person that cannot think and change his/her opinions?
Also, the Bible (especially New Testament) is stating numerous times that people shouldn't have private property and live in a community. I don't know which God are you following but for sure not the Christian one.
Had heard about it, would like to be a part of the community. To learn
