Shimon Peres

I didn't plan to be a politician. The founder of our country, David Ben-Gurion, called me from the kibbutz to serve in the underground. We were short of manpower, short of arms. I was 24 years old. I was supposed to serve my country for one or two years. I am 89 years old this year, and I keep going.

Israeli Statesman

Richard Edelman

Israeli ingenuity was never more evident than in the Ayalon bullet factory built during the British occupation of Palestine. It was constructed underneath an urban kibbutz. The workers had a bakery and laundry which provided constant clatter to disguise the work carried on below ground.

American Businessman

Maya Beiser

I grew up in a kibbutz in the Galilee, but we were surrounded by Arabic villages, so I heard all these sounds and all this music. My father was very close friends with one of the Bedouin tribes, so I would always go there, to weddings, and I was always very fascinated by that music.

American Musician

Maeve Binchy

I never wanted to write. I just wrote letters home from a kibbutz in Israel to reassure my parents that I was still alive and well fed and having a great time. They thought these letters were brilliant and sent them to a newspaper. So I became a writer by accident.

Irish Novelist

Mark Helprin

Creative Commons' is the self-congratulatory name of a self-congratulatory movement. Somewhat like kibbutz on the Internet, the idea is to write programs - 'free ware' - and distribute them without charge.

American Novelist

Tony Judt

I went to live on a kibbutz, and I'd idealized the world of collective, agrarian work, where everyone was equal, everyone contributed, that all this awful European intellectual stuff just fell away.

British Historian

Chris Claremont

The weirdest, most eloquent memory I have of the time on the kibbutz is, every Saturday night was movie night, and one of the first movies I remember seeing there was 'Judgment at Nuremberg.

British Writer

Ruth Westheimer

I went on a kibbutz for two years. I then realized I have to study. I have to learn something.

American Celebrity

Anat Cohen

I could never really figure out why people would live in a kibbutz. I'm such a city girl.

Adam Neumann

A capitalistic kibbutz is not a bad idea. You need both.

A kibbutz emphasizes community living where everyone shares work and profits, not just a farm.

Shared Living

Kibbutzim are unique to Israel and play a significant role in its history and culture.

Cultural Icon

Historically, kibbutzim were founded by Jewish immigrants with Zionist motivations to cultivate the land.
