What makes the place where you live different/special from other cities/ places in your country?
I live in a kibbutz,
which is a special place with an unique background history. The founders of my kibbutz
believed in a society which cooperates and take care for one each other. There was a
law in the beginning of the kibbutz that said "One should work hard and
give to the kibbutz society the maximum he can and the kibbutz society will
take care of his needs." The founders believed in total equality between the
members. Today it is all history. The houses and the landscape were kept but
the system totally changed. My kibbutz was founded close to 100 years ago.
The people
(religion, the way they dress, the way they speak, the roots, etc..) |
Please describe the people in your town, what unique characteristics do they have?
Most of the people that live in my kibbutz are in general
atheist but traditional to the Jewish celebrations. They are very zionist, love Israel and attached to the land of Israel , with strong roots in the kibutz.There are around 700
members living in the kibbutz. The first generation that came to the kibbutz
(in 1921) came from Poland. After that came other waves of migrations, from
Egypt, Bulgaria, etc... and also from ancient Israel, people with roots of dozens generations here...We have also non jewish members from Denmark, France, South Africa that decided to build their life in our community. |
