Etz Chaim students design Kibbutz
As part of the curriculum of the
ninth grade Prozdor class of Con
gregation Etz Chaim, Robert Ro
senbaum and his students developed
a blueprint of their idea of a kib
butz, as taken from a study unit
prepared by the Boston Bureau of
Jewish Education.
The class chose the production
of wine as the kibbutz’s main pro
duct, and hence named their kib
butz “Har Yayin.” The physical lay
out was determined to provide the
best possible access to all of the
facilities. Development of guide
lines for operation of the kibbutz
was the third step.
The students all agreed that this
experience enriched their know
ledge of the modern kibbutz.
