A [kibbutz] is an Israeli concept of a farm-residence. The basic principle is that anyone can come in, stay and be fed, as long as they work towards the [upkeep] of the kibbutz. One can stay for two days or for a lifetime. There are 278 kibbutzim (plural of kibbutz) in Israel. They are often strictly Orthodox Jewish - requiring no work to be done on [Shabbat] , for example. They are the basic Communist template, because often no money is exchanged in the residence/farming transactions.
