Kvutsat Yovel in Migdal Ha'Emek includes 10 adults: 4 of Kvutsat Yovel's members (Anton, Emma, James & Jez) are originally from HDUK, 1 from HDOZ (Emily) and 2 from HDNA (Abe & Robin). 3 Yovel members (Inbal, Lotem & Talia) are sabra Israeli kibbutznikim from Kvutzot HaBechira. We have 3 children (Kinneret, Gil & Itamar) plus another baby on the way, as well as a couple of African refugee kids (Jon & Yosef from Eritrea) whom we have semi-adopted.

Kvutsat Yovel is a member of Kibbutz Na'ama, which is an acronym (in Hebrew) for our location in Nazareth Elite and Migdal Ha'Emek. Kibbutz Na'ama is an 'urban kibbutz of kvutzot', with about 100 members, including 18 children. Kibbutz Na'ama is a kibbutz of the Kvutzot HaBechira (Tnuat HaBogrim) of Machanot HaOlim, so 90% of our membership are sabras.

Yovel members work in and take responsibility for many varied Socialist Zionist projects, including Habonim Dror in Israel and around the world, as well as social justice and educational projects in Israeli society through our kibbutz non-profit organisation 'Tikkun' and through Kvutzot HaBechira of Machanot HaOlim. There is always plenty more to do in order to bring peace, social justice and equality to Israel and the world!
