Last week, my family and I went to Kibbutz Gezer. We learned about Kibbutzim in school and how all the members participate in farming and different jobs, but today not all Kibbutzim are like that. There are many Kibbutzim where they don't farm anymore and they have swimming pools, gyms, factories and modern technology. On Kibbutz Gezer, they don't farm themselves, but they have workers who do all sorts of gardening. They have wheat fields, orchards and dairy cows. They also have the first baseball field built in Israel, and they still play on it. It's a really beautiful place and the members are lucky to live there.
Cool. I thought all kibutzim were farms.
