| Annotation | The kibbutz is a rural commune, based on principles of equality between members, common ownership of the means of production and mutual responsibility. Since the first kibbutzim were established in Palestine (now Israel) in 1910, they have developed from a single-generation to a multigenerational community. This relatively short history makes it possible to follow the creation of generations in a community from the very start. The second generation of kibbutz members followed the practices of the founders, but without their ideological dedication. The third generation did not accept the kibbutz lifestyle, and many left. Those who stayed implemented changes, which ensured the continuity of the community, but at the cost of abandoning some original kibbutz values. Since the turn of the century, the youngest generation has been returning, but now to a different kibbutz, one based on principles that meet their needs while ensuring the sustainability of the community.
