Abstract

This paper was based on the assumption that the economic crisis that occurred in kibbutzim in the early 1980s led to the dismantling of the ideology that was the basis for building of the kibbutz movement. Kibbutz leaders from eight kibbutzim in Israel were individually interviewed. Each participant asserted that the changes that have occurred on kibbutzim over the past 25 years have affected not only the ideological principles of the kibbutz movement, but have also impacted child rearing, family and social relations and work ethic. It was concluded that today’s kibbutzim have more in common with villages, townships and cities than a resemblance to traditional kibbutzim. The future of kibbutzim must be questioned as a unique community.
