IḤUD HA-KEVUẒOT VE-HA-KIBBUTZIM
- IḤUD HA-KEVUẒOT VE-HA-KIBBUTZIM
- IḤUD HA-KEVUẒOT VE-HA-KIBBUTZIM, a federation of collective
settlements in Israel founded in 1951 by the merger of the mapai
-oriented kibbutzim, which seceded from Ha-Kibbutz ha-Me'uḥad ,
with the union of smaller collective settlements called Ḥever
ha-Kevuẓot. (The latter also comprised the first villages of this kind
founded by pioneers of the Second Aliyah before World War
I.) The Iḥud is ideologically and politically the most
moderate of the various kibbutz unions, allowing for more diversity in
its members' outlook and way of life. It comprised over 80 collective
settlements with a population of about 30,000 in 1970. In 1979 it
reunited with Ha-Kibbutz ha-Me'uḥad to form Takam (the United Kibbutz
Movement), which numbered 167 kibbutzim and 76,560 members in 1987. In
2000 the United Kibbutz Movement and Ha-Kibbutz ha-Arẓi ha-Shomer
ha-Ẓa'ir joined forces as "The Kibbutz Movement," representing 260
kibbutzim.
