Samar (Israel)

Samar is a kibbutz in the Arava Valley in the South of Israel.

Understand
Samar is a small kibbutz founded in 1976. Unlike many other kibbutzim that have increasingly become "capitalist", in Samar the original socialist ideals are still practiced, such as communal ownership of goods, grassroots democracy and an egalitarian approach. The main economic activity is the production of dates.
