The organization has revitalized Western Aliyah by removing the financial, professional and logistical obstacles that prevent many individuals from actualizing their dreams. Since its establishment in 2002, Nefesh B’Nefesh has assisted over 45,000 Olim from North America and the UK and has maintained a retention rate of over 90%. Nefesh B’Nefesh Olim contribute greatly to the social, economic and demographic welfare of Israeli society by serving in the IDF, settling in Israel’s cities and periphery, and boosting economic growth, while infusing the country with idealistic enthusiasm and optimism. www.nbn.org.il Go South Program The Go South program offers enhanced services and financial benefits to Olim interested in moving to Israel’s southern communities. These enhancements, coupled with the support of dedicated local Nefesh B’Nefesh staff, set the stage for successful Aliyah. www.nbn.org.il/gosouth www.facebook.com/groups/gosouthnbn 2 ABOUT US What is this packet all about? The term garin, meaning “a seed,” is used to refer to a group of individuals and/or families who live together as a community, and are trying to effect some social change in Israel. Throughout this booklet, we will use the plural form of garin which is garinim to refer to seed communities. Don’t be confused with the popular garinim - pumpkin seeds - that Israelis love to crack with their teeth and spit out while reading a newspaper or holding a conversation! The original garinim were founded in the geographically peripheral areas of Israel - Negev, Galilee & Samaria - back in the 1970s, and began to spread rapidly in the 1990s. Currently, there are hundreds of active garinim throughout the country. Many of them receive guidance and financial support from umbrella organizations. Joining a garin can be a wonderful way for a young Oleh single, couple or family to become part of a welcoming and idealistic community! 3 ABOUT US 1. Affordable Housing 2. Welcoming Communities 3. Accessibility 4. Career Options 5. Unique, Unparalleled Scenery 6. 21st Century Zionism: Opportunity to make an impact 4 Why the Negev? Since the days of David Ben Gurion, the Negev has captured the imagination of passionate Zionists. Covering 66 percent of Israel’s land mass, but including only 8 percent of its population, the Negev represents a major opportunity for Olim. So much of the area’s success has been due to the efforts of immigrants from For the State of Israel across the globe, yet Olim from Western countries have yet to capitalize on the to exist, we must opportunities of Israel’s South. The completion of Route 6 and the railway, Go South the construction of new industrial parks, and an increasing number of large Israeli and international companies moving south are all contributing to the development of the region. Israel’s South presents a wealth of opportunities which make it an ideal option for English speaking Olim, including expanding communities, burgeoning industries and cutting edge education. There are many educational options in the South, that span the religious spectrum. Additionally, there are several unique schools; the Anthroposophic and Bi- lingual schools in Be’er Sheva, the Democratic school in Arad, the Environmental school in Sde Boker and the Agricultural school in Eshel HaNasi. Ben Gurion University of the Negev, which brings over 20,000 students to the area, is one of the top academic institutions in Israel. The Negev is now, and the South is where cutting-edge social and commercial innovation happens. Glossary TYPES OF GARINIM GLOSSARY Garin Hityashvut (Settlement Community) - A group of individuals and/or families who live together as a community in an existing settlement, or in a new settlement they have founded together. We define a settlement as a yishuv, moshav, kibbutz, a town or a city. There can be more than one community in the same settlement. Garinim situated in cities and towns are called garinim ironi’im (urban garinim), while garinim in rural environments are called garinim kafri’im (rural garinim). The main goal of the garin hityashvut is to settle the land, while experiencing a meaningful fulfilling communal life. Garin Messimati (Mission-Oriented/ Intentional Community) - A type of garin hityashvut. The members of a garin messimati choose to live an active communal life, and have taken upon themselves a messima (mission). The nature of the mission depends on the community’s social or religious affiliation. For example, there are garinim who settle in underdeveloped neighborhoods in order to provide strength and enrichment. A successful model for these garinim is to forge relationships with veteran neighborhood residents and work with them in partnership. Garin Torani (Torah-Oriented Community) - A type of garin hityashvut, in which the members of the garin are all torani (Orthodox). The garinim torani’im are usually typed as garinim mesimati’im, and are often placed in cities. They seek to infuse a rich and active religious experience into the community. To do so, they often establish Torah classes, and plan events and educational programs to celebrate and commemorate holidays and important dates in the Jewish calendar. Garin Meorav (Mixed/Pluralistic Community) - A type of garin hityashvut in which the members of the garin are both religious and secular. It might also function as a garin messimati, but not necessarily. The goal of these garinim is to be role models for Israeli society, showing the beauty and power that can be found in pluralistic communal life. In doing so, they are encouraging dialogue between the different populations, both on the local and national levels. Garin Svivati (Environmentaly Active Community) - A type of garin messimati. The mission of the community is to be proactive on different environmental issues. The members live their communal lives while preserving the natural environment surrounding them, and usually try to manage in eco-friendly ways, using clean energy and the principle of sustainability. 6 LEGAL TERMINOLOGY GLOSSARY RELEVANT GOVERNMENT Bne Betchah (The ‘Build Your Own House’ Policy) - An Israeli governmental policy that BODIES allows and encourages allotment of plots Mo’atza Mekomit (Local Council) - one of in the peripheral areas of Israel, for citizens the three types of local government entities to purchase cheaply, and use to build their found in Israel, with the other two being homes (private villas).

    The mystery of the kibbutz: how socialism succeeded (under contract with Princeton University Press) Ran Abramitzky Stanford University What is my book about Kibbutzim, egalitarian and socialist communities in Israel, thrived for almost a century within a more capitalist society This is despite the gloomy predictions that such communities are likely to fail because of severe incentive problems: members are expected to shirk on each other, the brightest members are expected to exit, and only the least productive workers are expected to enter How did such socialist islands survive successfully within a more capitalist society? Specifically: Were there incentive problems in kibbutzim? How did kibbutzim thrive and provide equal sharing despite incentive problems? Why did some kibbutzim eventually shift away from equal sharing while others didn’t? Did the shift away from equal sharing help kibbutzim to survive? What are the lessons from kibbutzim for other organizations and societies aiming at high degrees of redistribution? What is my book about Part I: The economic history of the kibbutz Part II: Do kibbutz members respond to economic incentives? Part III: How did kibbutzim thrive despite incentive problems? Part IV: Why did some kibbutzim shift away from equal sharing and others not? An empirical test of the limits of equality Part V: Did the shift away from equal sharing reduce incentive problems? Part VI: Implications beyond kibbutzim This book is in part based on my following papers: 1. “Lessons from the Kibbutz on the Equality-Incentives Trade-Off,” Journal of Economic Perspectives, 25:1, 185-208, Winter 2011 2. “On the (lack of) Stability of Communes: An Economic Perspective,” in Oxford Handbook of the Economics of Religion (edited by Rachel McCleary), Oxford University Press, Chapter 9, 169-189, 2011 3.

The statements made and the views expressed are solely the responsibility of the authors. © 2009, The Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies The Hay Elyachar House 20 Radak St. 92186 Jerusalem http://www.jiis.org.il E-mail: [email protected] Summary Israel’s countryside and agricultural land has undergone many changes in the past twenty years. The countryside in central Israel has been exposed to extremely heavy land development pressures. These pressures have had far-reaching consequences which are expressed in changes in employment patterns and the reallocation of agricultural land for nonagricultural enterprises. In response to these trends, changes have occurred in the national and district planning authorities aimed at the reinforcement and preservation of agricultural land and open spaces with an emphasis on environmental issues, the countryside’s landscape and tourism (ILA National Outline Plan no. 31, 35; District Outline Plan no. 3/21). For the purpose of efficiently managing land resources in Israel’s countryside and for the purpose of implementing a policy preserving the countryside’s landscape and agricultural uses — it is important to clarify the opinions of the countryside’s residents regarding the region’s future and the conditions required for the preservation of agricultural pursuits.

  • The Struggle to Belong Dealing with Diversity in 21 Century Urban
    The struggle to belong Dealing with diversity in 21st century urban settings Amsterdam, 7-9 July 2011 ‗People like us’: gatekeepers and the rise of community expansions in the neo-liberal kibbutz Igal Charney and Michal Palgi University of Haifa, Mount Carmel, Haifa, 31905 Israel E-mail: [email protected] Paper presented at the International RC21 conference 2011 Session: ‗Gated communities‘ from a global perspective 1 ‘People like us’: gatekeepers and the rise of community expansions in the neo-liberal kibbutz Abstract In contrast to gated communities built for middle-upper classes, the kibbutz, as an ideological gated community throughout most of the last century, has been open to those who wished to commit themselves to a cooperative and egalitarian society. Two significant changes had a critical role in transforming the kibbutz: the movement from ideology-driven to market-oriented communities and the subsequent admission of newcomers as nonmembers. By exploring nine kibbutzim in the Israeli northern periphery, a region which experienced extensive development of such neighborhoods, this article stresses the role of gatekeepers, principally the kibbutzim. In particular, we examine how they view the expansion of their communities and how they screen nonmembers who wish to reside in new neighborhoods built at the perimeter of the kibbutz (in local terminology, ‗community expansions‘). Despite central-state regulation, kibbutzim have attempted to exercise tight regulation on their behalf seeking to recruit people of specific socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds whom they thought would fit best into their social economic environment rejecting those who significantly diverge from this profile. To minimize foreseeable social and economic frictions and to maintain some recognized socio-cultural values, recruiting ‗people like us‘ or people considered needed for the community was a key objective.

  • Effects of Drastic Changes in Living Environment: a Displaced Community
    Miriam Billig A Displaced Community 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 Effects of Drastic Changes in Living Environment: A Displaced Community Miriam Billig, Ariel University, Israel Abstract The objectives of this study were to understand the implications of the forced transfer of a community to a different physical environment, and assess the effects of such an environmental change on the community's sociological structure and on restructuring people’s cultural identity. We used Ingelhart’s methodology of cultural shifts to describe these cultural changes. In the K.D. community, changes in the physical environment caused significant changes in the community's social structure. As a result, the collective characteristics that had once united and strengthened the community's social structure began to dwindle. Meanwhile, a growing tendency towards individualistic characteristics gradually increased, causing the weakening and eventual dissolution of both the community and its social structure. Introduction Community displacement and resettlement effects on population well-being have been subjects of extensive academic research in recent decades. A vast body of evidence has been collected about the difficulties encountered by resettled populations as they try to adapt to their host environments (Oliver & Smith, 2013; Fong & Green, 2011; Bhugra & Becker, 2005). In their review of recent migrants’ adaptation in an Australian community, Hutchinson & Dorsett (2012) identify several elements that may impede this process, including: language barriers, discrimination, and labeling of the trauma story. Bhugra & Becker (2005) further emphasize the loss of cultural norms, religious customs, and social support systems, adjustment to a new culture, and changes in identity and concept of self. The authentic identities brought by migrants to their new environment are perceived by them as a source of pride, self-respect, a sense of community, and moral strength.
