The list of small museums in Israel keeps growing. The museum at Kibbutz Yifat tells the story of the kibbutz from its founding in the early 1900s through the 1940s. The kibbutz way of life was agricultural in nature, highly idealistic and valued the collective above all else. Changes in Israeli society rendered this way of life less tolerated and less useful to society. In recent years, most kibbutzim (plural of kibbutz) in Israel have been privatized.

The dining room pictured here is authentic. Note the knives that are chained to the table – as was done in the real kibbutz dining room. Take a guess why the knife – not any other piece of cutlery – was chained to the table – and let us know your answer!
