More than 20 years ago
I lived and worked for a short while in Kibbutz Ya'hel
in the Arava desert.
Kibbutz Ya'hel was then 5 years old. I worked in the vineyard and
making compost. I worked in the dining room
too. It was an unusual Kibbutz kitchen and dining hall, as 1/4 of the members
were vegetarians. I was still too much in a New Yawk
state of mind to be very good at the lifestyle, but I did love the members and
carried wonderful memories of the place away with me for life.
One day we trundled
off to nearby Kibbutz Lotan. At the time, Lotan was untouched desert, save two caravans.
While looking for
Green Communities in
It does my heart good
to see Lotan go in that direction.
