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.
