Visit Degania – Israel’s first Kibbutz!

The first Kibbutz (socialist agricultural commune) was established in 1911 on the shores of the Sea of Galilee where the Jordan River exits the southern end of the Sea.

By 1946 (in the Israel Government Press Office photo above) it had already become a legend and leader among communities in Israel.

In the video below, Eliyokim Cohen brought his road show to Kibbutz Degania where we produce our Galilee Green Olive Oil.

Shmuel shares with Elyokim the struggles of the Zionist return to Israel in the early 20th century and how the concept of the kibbutz way of life has adapted to the “start up nation.”
