What we do

NOTRE HISTOIRE

Notre kibboutz a été fondé en 1969 par Vincent et Albert Thibout.
Ils essaient de construire une vie de partage à l’exemple de celle des disciples de Jésus. Il s’appuie sur les enseignements universels révélés au peuple d’Israël par Dieu sur le Mont Sinaï, et dont la finalité est “Que ton frère vive avec toi”. Chacun de nous est donc invité à vivre cet idéal dans la joie et l’amitié.
Notre kibboutz est un lieu de vie où chaque membre s’édifie pour rendre possible un vivre ensemble fraternel. Ce choix de vie développe les rapports humains, l’amitié, le devoir, la générosité…
L’échange nous permet de nous questionner et d’évoluer.
Nous partageons les repas, l’éducation des enfants, le travail et les ressources matérielles. Cette vie nous épanouit par la recherche du bien-être de l’autre.

Our History:
Our kibbutz was founded in 1969 by Vincent and Albert Thibout. They try to build a life of sharing following the example of that of the disciples of Jesus. It is based on the universal teachings revealed by God to Israel’s people on Mount Sinai, and whose purpose is “May your brother live with you”.
Each of us is therefore invited to live this ideal with joy and friendship.
Our kibbutz is a place of life where each member is built to make possible a fraternal living together. This choice of life develops human relationships, friendship, duty, generosity…
Dialogue allows us to question ourselves and evolve.
We share meals, children’s education, work and material resources. This life fulfills us through the search for the well-being of others.
