I spent some weeks at Geva in 1975. An experience I'll never forget, a beloved memory. The Kibbuz contact man of our group was Nathan Hoexter. Shalom to all the Kibbuzniks, I wish I could visit Israel again.

@colbeseder1 A Volunteer gets 135 shekels a week? That's a big jump since i was last there.

@Woodlander65 Do people that work on Kibbutz's get paid?

[Woodlander65]

@kidkappa04 Hello, yes, when i was there in 1991 a volunteer would get 25 shekels a week, that was the equivelent of £6, or $10, 11 dollars, it's not a great sum i know but you get your accommodation, food, trips out and hobbies and interests on top of it for free, well for your labour.
