- This is a video made by Kibbutz Yotvata Volunteers to show an example of one day as a volunteer.
In the video you'll see how and where the volunteers eat, work, sleep, have fun, enjoy, experience and just have a great time.
This video just invites to get an insight of the life as a kibbutz volunteer in Israel. - Zábava
Half a year as a volunteer, an experience, that changed my life . Maybe the best time ever...i'll never forget.
Stefan Aretz how the way foreigner could living in kibbutz?
How we can be volunteers, pls guide
You got all the information about the program here www.kibbutzprogramcenter.net/
@@youshinenaara7031 if you mean how could you spend half a year on a kbz it is simple - if you go through KPC you get an automatic visa, good for either two or three months, I forget which. After that the kibbutz arranges extensions with the Interior Ministry for a nominal sum - around 300 New ISR shecks. That is about 75 USD and you have to pay it (not the kbz) . The Kbz might pay you say 25 USD equivalent in pocket money a month so if you save it all you break even on the Visa bit. You can keep leapfrogging like this for a year and after that you are expected to leave the country (for at least a month or so ) unless you have a rabbinic certificate you are Jewish. .. in that case you might make two years but after that you will find that if you don't want to take citizenship they will make it hard on you. There are more demanding visa requirements for some south American countries (interviews and so on ) and for certain countries which don't need to be named, you will never get past immigration or even on to the aircraft/ship in the first place. Hope that helps.
KPC as mentioned below by Peleg M below is the only place that now handles placements.
@@timothyfidler2088 are there other special things? For example how do you arrange or are there institutions in Israel for tourists staying at the Kibbutz? or is there a special document that needs to be signed? because this is like a special place with rules (it's on video)
I'm 45, I live a comfortable life in a great city in a G7 country...and 20 years later I still look up videos of kibbutz life and wonder if I should move back. :).
what kibbutz ?
Evgeniy Petrov I was near Afula in the north, but my old kibbutz privatized, so I’d go elsewhere.
I used to wonder the same thing. I spent about 15 months in Israel back in the late 80's or so and loved almost every minute of it as volunteer on Kibbutz Gadot and later on Kibbutz Mefalsim. The only thing that stopped me from making aliyah was the forced inscription into the armed forces. I would have been more than happy to work in let's say some kitchen of the armed forces but not willing to take up arms and possibly have to kill others.
Volunteer quarters at Gadot were the pits, but at Mefalsim I was able to secure a "single" members housing(which is somewhat nicer than volunteers quarters) that I shared with Oren (a native Israeli armed services personnel) who taught me so much about Israel and just life in general for Israelis. The one thing that still sticks out in my mind all these years later was having dinner in the communal dining room and seeing an Israeli woman pull out a cigarette, so I went over to light it for her, and she said "how kind, you must be American".
@@acchaladka Beit-a-Shitta? I was there summer 1994.
What a difference with the time we went there in 1981-1982-1983. Even is this video you see people paying more attention to their cell phones then to each other (except a few) We talked, laughed, shared stories, learned from each other and thanks god.......didn't have these conversation killers.
‘My generation’ always did it better is said by every generation
@@tomrose6395 And ignored. How come nowadays people are more lonely then ever ? (I'm referring to pre Covid times) And Tom Rose, I didn't say we did it better. I just mentioned we were doing things more different, more social, more person to person.
@@bertgroeneveld57 Thinking about the time when the only chance for your article to be seen is to write it down then print it out...
@@HolahkuTaigiTWFormosanDiplomat And people would think before sharing. Readers would read, not glance ......
Brings back happy memories from 1984 when I was a volunteer on Kibbutz Sasa, had the time of my life...
Such memories. What a wonderful place, hope to be back sometime soon.
I was there in 2012...it was amazing, changed my life for ever! I knew there beloved of my life...
Great place, I spent 6 weeks at Kibbutz Beit-a-Shitta, summer 1994. So many friends, Brits, Australians, South Africans....
Went to kibbutz Yiftah in 2007, when I was 27. At age 41, still fit, no problem to do it again, and would if I could. This was the best time of my life.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was nice video. I am an outsider, but would like to know more about Kibbutz community. God Bless Israel.
Thanks great video.
That date picking machine is cool.
I volunteered at kibbutz kinneret and was assigned to the kitchen. Loved it worked with the chefs Hallad from Nazereth and Dorin and Kohava both kibbutniks.
I remember a young lad who lived there called Atar David I hope they are all well.
I recall cutting up the watermelons and the great tasting fresh fruit.
Later I moved to Kibbutz Baram this time picking apples or Tapuach if my little bit of Hebrew is correct.
That was 19 years ago now back in 2003.
everything beautiful especially the music of the video
This brought back so many memories. So many similarities to when I volunteered-Golan heights-1989. The agricultural work, the pooll, the kitchen and dining room.Funny to see people on phones. I loved my six months on the kibbutz.
It wasn't Gadot by any chance. I was there in 1995.
Kenyan stayed in kibuttz lotan for a year.awesome place
In 1972 I was 15 and worked in the kibbutz Gat in Neguev for a month in the sunflower Fields it was a great experience they even had a swimming pool unbelievable the founders told me they had only one egg a day to eat
I stayed there in 2000 great fun
Me too
How can someone can be volunteer here?
anil patel Look up Kibbutz (Volunteer) Program Centre in Tel Aviv. It’s something like www.kpc.org.il.
I always miss Ein Haschlosha Kibbutz.
I was there 1988👍
Some commentary, rather than pop music, would have been a good idea.
kibbutz gan shmuel 1988 and ulpan ...shalom
Please can I volunteer for free to work for one year on a Kibbutz farm. I am just forced into retirement at 61 in South Africa.
Hi😊 I'm from South Africa and I'm going to volunteer in a kibbutz at the end of the month. Can someone please tell me what to expect? Any suggestions on the kibbutz I should join( I hate the cold btw😅)
Thanks
Most of the kibbutzim have quite relax life, the only difference from rest of Israel that it's secular community, you will have tons of new freinds :)
Hi !! :) I want to ask, if there is a possibility to travel with my girlfriend and stay in the same kibbutz ? Beforehands thanks
many kibbutzs have there hotel . u can choose a kibbutz and read all about it in the internet & forums
Can you go as s group of 3 and all get in same camp done anyone know?
If you were like me, you’ll certainly earn your keep there.
I want to do this
it is not such fun in a real life
I did it for 5 months. Was the best time of my life. Will always cherish the memories.
Can you go as a group of 3 and get in the same camp does anyone know?
I think you can. Try contacting the KPC about it. Last group of volunteers were a group of friends from back home
It's not a camp!
Is there any online portal to be volunteer? Pls guide
Here it is: kibbutzvolunteers.org.il/
was this through a program?
Yes

Fuck I miss my kibutz life
had to watch w/ music muted
Well, dirty indoor unskilled work such as kitchen porter /assistant are done by the Volunteers. Outdoor hard physical work are sometimes done by Palestinian and Druze labourers. Some Kibbutznicks (kibbutz members) are just lazy the majority which are not, and work hard at being in charge or in skilled work sometimes outside the Kibbutz. As a Volunteer you have no rights and get no money, but the food is nice though and sometimes the accommodation is too.
Man that sounds like you had a rough time in the dishwasher.. it's partly true.. some volunteers do get to work at the dinning room and wash dishes WITH the other kibbutznicks. I'm a kibbutznick myself, i worked on the potato fields of the kibbutz with volunteers by my side. Now i'm working in the gardens of the kibbutz and always had at list 2 volunteers working with me so there is that. About the Palstininan\Druze workers.. some Kibbutz's are old in a way of not having a big amount of young workers in them and they do need to get skilled workers from the outside the kibbutz who knows the job and are skilled works, its not a secret.
In general, almost everybody works, and the one's who doesn't has there own issues and it just sounds like you've been sitting on your ass to long gossiping like an old kibbutz member about how life is not great.. do some research before you judge and remember.. you VOLUNTEERED.

Hey PABLO, have you actually been to a kibbutz?! Doesn't sound like it. And why kvetching; actual volunteers know what they are getting into. It's not a summer camp.
@@Lagolop
I spent 5 months working in the garden and kitchen on Kibbutz Lahav. Most beautiful time of my life. Wish I could go back
There's two very important aspects of a volunteers day that's missing from this video:
Vodka, and sex with Scandinavians.
;D
Yep, during the day we worked hard and contributed. But at night nobody wanted us anywhere near then
Sounds like you did it right
Eifo ha refet?
good hebrew dude..
also the refet was shown about in the middle of this clip if im not mistaken
can a 30 year old volunteer on a kibbutz
Yes
Rega Rega.. y'all get indigestion and ulcers !
guess we won't hear people actually speaking
i hate that matisyahu song in the beginning
I don't want to sound disrespectful but why are there Asian people in the Kibbutz? Are they jewish?
Frank Einstein
It's all part of a system called Kibbutz Program Centre which brings people who want to take part of Kibbutz life and live it as a volunteer. People comes from all around the Globe.
Ah ok. Thank you :)
Volunteers from the Kibbutz program centre are not candidates for membership, there are Jews in Turkey and India you know.
I am from india and how can I be volunteer here ? Please guide
anil patel Go look on google buddy! There is a alot of content about kibbutz.
They look too clean and not hippie enough! Four in an empty dishwash room?
The 80's was the best time to volunteer!
Silly vid
HE CANNOT SING!
Nah he's good just a bad take.. I wasn't there to film it so that what we got...
Why I’m not seeing any black people
Of course no racial reasons. ..
I don't think there were any black volunteers staying in the kibbutz at the moment when we made this video. African volunteers are more "rare" if I might say then Westerner. Long story short there was a group of South African volunteers who just left the Kibbutz a few months ago. One of them was black.
