The lecture will discuss fascinating and unique upbringing experienced by children in Israel’s communal Kibbutz. We will delve into the social and cultural aspects that shaped the collective child-rearing practices in these agricultural communities. The lecture will address the ideals of shared responsibility, education, and equality that governed Kibbutz children's life, highlighting how these values influenced children’s development, child-parent relationships, and sense of community. Through personal stories and pictures, historical insights, the lecture will provide a window into a distinctive model of childhood and its long-lasting impact.
