Religious Kibbutz Movement
- Religious Kibbutz Movement
The Religious Kibbutz Movement ( _he. הקיבוץ הדתי, "HaKibbutz HaDati", lit. "The Religious Kibbutz") is a settlement movement for Orthodox kibbutzim in Israel. Its membership includes 19 communities, 16 of which function as traditional kibbutzim, while the other two have the status of "Moshav Shitufi" (communal settlements), meaning that they lack certain institutions such as a communal dining hall or children's house, while maintaining the shared economic structure. The movement has about 19,000 members.
Most of the movement's economy is based around the areas of tourism, agriculture and industry. Many of the movement's kibbutzim are going through the process of privatization, similar to the change at the Kibbutz Movement.
The movement supports a number of education institutions, including Yeshivat Ein Tzurim, Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilboa, Ein HaNatziv Women's Seminary, the Yaacov Herzog Institute for Jewish Studies, a school for post-military Jewish studies for women on Massuot Yitzhak, and a Field School at Kfar Etzion.
Its main offices in Tel Aviv provide support and services for all of the member kibbutzim.
