There are many synonyms for kibbutzim, including collective communities, cooperatives, communes, and utopian communities. Each of these terms describes a group of people living together and sharing resources for the common good. While kibbutzim were traditionally agricultural communities, today they can be found in a variety of industries, including technology and tourism. Regardless of the specific focus of the community, the values of cooperation and equality remain at the core of the kibbutzim concept.
