“And so I arrived in Israel, still 19, to work on a kibbutz, and found myself among people who had no means of checking anything I said.”

“While in a kibbutz, I saw a poster advertising a summer's program at Hebrew University in desert zoology, and I enrolled.”

“On the kibbutz they farmed avocado, bananas and dates, and ran a dairy farm and a small industrial tools factory.”

“To the kibbutznik, the story is one of heroic volunteers establishing themselves in the face of a hostile population.”

“He grew up as a kibbutznik in the Galil, the son of swamp-draining idealists from the Ukraine.”

“The kibbutznik, however, ended up achieving distinction not as a farmer but as a soldier.”

“The young kibbutzniks are comprised of two groups, one from veteran kibbutzim and the other from cities.”

“Some went to live on collective farms, the kibbutzim, which were among Israel's most imaginative innovations.”

“Other studies of kibbutzim have found helping behavior between organizations that share ideologies.”
