Kibbutz Definition and Overview by danwas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The kibbutz is a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture and farming. Kibbutzim began in the early 20th century as utopian socialist communities that combined Zionism and communal living. While farming was initially central to kibbutz life, many have since incorporated other industries like manufacturing. In recent decades, some kibbutzim have also privatized aspects of their communal lifestyle.
