Degania Alef
Degania Alef (, ) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. The Jewish communal settlement started off in 1910, making it the earliest socialist Zionist farming commune in the Land of Israel. Its status as "the mother of all kibbutzim" is sometimes contested based on a later distinction made between the smaller "kvutza", applying to Degania in its beginnings, and the larger "kibbutz".
