Pronunciation: http://0rz.tw/d05e3
an Israeli communal settlement, especially a farm co-operative
For this farming collective five miles from the Lebanon border,
the attack last week, which killed more than two dozen cows,
raised new worries about life ahead for the troubled kibbutz,
and others like it in northern Israel.
-- Ken Ellingwood, Los Angeles Times, 7/25/2006
The new kibbutz seeks a subtler balance between collective
responsibility and individual freedom, with an emphasis on
community and values. Its drawing points include a safe
environment, usually in the heart of nature, away from the
cities scarred by suicide bombings; excellent day care and
education; and an improved quality of life at out-of-town
prices.
-- Isabel Kirshner, New York Times, 8/27/2007
According to the Israeli military, an "alert" Israeli force
detonated a fourth booby-trapped vehicle before it could

Nirim.

gathering together," from root of qibbes "he gathered together."
Plural is kibbutzim.
