“This is the third group to come to Bet HaEmek, and what a pleasure it was to see some familiar faces. When the first group came, we didn’t really know why they were here. The second group, all new people, were just as fantastic as the first and I think we began to understand them better. Now with the third group, we are building friendships that will, I hope, carry on for a long time. It took a while to understand that they just want to help, to be friends and build relationships between communities. And that’s what kibbutz is all about – community.”
