A kibbutz is a collective community in Israel, traditionally based on agriculture. Members, known as kibbutzniks, share resources and responsibilities, working together to manage the community's needs. The concept originated in the early 20th century, aiming to create a socialist society where everyone contributes and benefits equally. Kibbutzim often provide education, healthcare, and social services to their members. Over time, many have diversified their economies by incorporating industries such as tourism and technology. Today, kibbutzim continue to evolve, balancing traditional values with modern economic practices while fostering a strong sense of community.
