If you're looking for a rustic, pastoral experience while you visit Israel, than you should visit at least one of Israel's many kibbutzim. The majorities of these extraordinary communities are situated within Israel's most fruitful sceneries offering tourist amazing landscapes and breathtaking views.
The kibbutz wwas originally a rural way of living which is mostly famous for its distinctive values of collectivity. Each member of the community contributed as much he could and recieved as much as he needed. This ment that the Kibbutz had no poverty, hunger, classes nor did it have unemployment. The children wore clothes that were all bought at the same store and were raised as completely equal to each other.
The first kibbutzim were founded around the turn of the 20th century by young pioneers from Eastern Europe who mixed between their love for the earth, their cvomplete commitment to social equality and their intense Zionist dogma. The first Kibbutz was called Degania and was established on the southern shore of the Kinneret, also known as the Sea of Galilee. It still exists today.
Today many tourists come to explore this life style. The Kibbutzim have changed much over the year and are today very different from their original forms, yet they still thrive in the midst of nature, and they still preserve much of their original atmosphere. Many of the Kibbutzim today operate Zimmer style guest houses, craft shops and other tourist attractions. Kibbutz accommodations are wonderful for families with kids and some of the kibbutzim even arrange tours showing their community and museums.
If waterscapes and green meadows are your thing, you should look for a kibbutz in the northern part of Israel within the Hula Valley or close to the Kinneret. If you are a desert type of person, then you should go for the Arava or the Negev and see how the Kibbutz people managed to make the most barren part of Israel bloom.
