THE FIRST KIBBUTZ - DEGANIA
Conceived by Eastern European Jews, the first
kibbutz was founded at Degania in 1909. The
guiding ideals behind Israel's kibbutzim are self-
sufficiency and equality, with everyone working
for the common good. Rural farming communities,
they are highly productive, and hold their own
plenary meetings to decide on community
matters. There are now two kibbutzim here, with
the original called Degania Alef (A). By the main
gate to the kibbutz is a Syrian tank, stopped here
by the kibbutzniks when they famously defeated
an entire armoured column during the 1948 war.
