Definizione

(singular: kibbutz) Collective settlements where wealth is shared in common between members. The first kibbutz was formed in Deganya, Palestine in 1909. The kibbutz played an important role in Zionism as it allowed for cultivation of land as well as a training ground for young Zionists. Traditionally kibbutzim were agricultural in nature, however many have become increasingly industrial. Although generally associated with settlement in Palestine and Israel, kibbutzim also existed in Europe before World War II. (en-US)
