A kibbutz is more than a physical place and more than a form of cooperative living. Yulie Ben Ami says that the inhabitants of the Be’eri Kibbutz in southern Israel, where she lives, are more like extended family.
Their strong bond continues, she says, even though they have been forced to flee and now are scattered across the country, after last week’s horrific attack by Hamas militants claimed the lives of at least 100 of the kibbutz’s inhabitants.
