I have Texan friends who are Jewish and they did a stint working at a kibbutz over one summer, or maybe longer, when they were young adults I think, and one of them told me that he never felt healthier or happier or more relaxed and fulfilled than when he was living and working at the kibbutz. Those are models for us all, I believe, and we should imitate them. Imagine the good that approach could produce for American Indians, for example, who are trapped on reservations and ignored and living in despondency and dependency. Society should follow "best practices" and learn!
Amazing story! And I remember aerogrammes....

It was also one of the healthiest as well as happiest times in my life as well.
The kibbutz model proves how well socialism works wonderfully on a small
scale.
