Answer 2

First of all Behatzlacha (Good luck)!

About kibbutz life: every kibbutz is diferent, but general opinon is that it's the best way to start you life in Israel is to life in a kibbutz!

Everything is much cheaper: the food, monthly expenses...

LIfe in the city can be hurd and cruel, but in kibbutz everybody are helping you, supporting you...

The education is the best...

It's quite...nice...

About working in kibbutz again depends! You can work in the kibbutz factory (if they have one), in the fields (withc means all kind of agriculture things) in the dining room....

Take care

Answer 3

as a young girl i often went to visit family on a kibbutz in the north.so i have been fascinated by them since then.i must say living on a kibbutz isn't for everyone.today the main income on a kibbutz isn't necessarily from agriculture, but could be from many different industries.also they dont accept everyone to become a member these days.

here are a few great sites and articles for you to read

Answer 5
