kibbutz

A collective farm or settlement in modern Israel.

An Israeli communal{2} form of agricultural settlement. Originally it was predominantly agricultural and practiced a very high level of sharing, including collective rearing of children. More recently (by 1998) industries have taken over a significant role in the Kibbutz economy, and the level of sharing has dropped significantly.

A community, usually a village, based on a high level of social and economical sharing, equality, direct democracy and tight social relations.

A collective farm or settlement owned by its members in modern Israel; children are reared collectively.
