A BEAUTIFUL ARTICLE ABOUT URBAN KIBBUTZIM

"An Urban Kibbutz in Jerusalem"

by Shulamit Reinharz, the Jacob Potofsky Professor of Sociology at Brandeis University, where she founded the Women's Studies Research Center and The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (hbi@brandeis.edu).

Tzfat needs this spirit and these activities, particularly that of Kibbutz Reshit and Kibbutz Bet Israel in Yerushalayim so very, very much.

Short excerpt: "Recently, three members of Kibbutz Reshit received a national prize for their work. They were cited for providing education and social-community services with enthusiasm, creativity, persistence, and outstanding leadership. The prize rewarded ongoing, long-term activity that has enjoyed great success and is intended to benefit and, in particular, to empower a disenfranchised population."

Let's make it happen here too.

Only we, the concerning and caring residents of Tzfat, can make it happen.

No one in the Municipality will initiate this. No one will do this for us.
