Intentional Communities Desk
The Communes Desk was founded 49 years ago, at the initiative of Mordechai Bentov, a member of Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek.
Who are we?
The members of the desk are kibbutz members from all of the streams within the kibbutz movement, as well as from the new urban cooperative groups. We meet once every two months. Most of our activities are carried out on a volunteer basis.
Our activities
• Publications in Hebrew
• Publications in English
• Active at international conferences
• Hosting members of intentional communities
• Conducting meeting and tours
