A "kibbutz" is a type of intentional community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. The word "kibbutz" means "gathering" or "grouping" in Hebrew. Kibbutzim operate under the premise that all income generated by the kibbutz and its members goes into a common pool. In return, members receive food, board, and other necessities. Kibbutzim have made a significant impact on Israeli production, culture, and ideology, despite encompassing only three percent of Israeli society. Today, kibbutzim are still present in Israel, and they have evolved to include a variety of industries beyond agriculture.
