Kibbutz - The first communal groups were founded in 1909 around the western shore of the Sea of Galilee (Yam Kinneret). The first communal group, Kinneret, taught the Jewish settlers agriculture and trained them to build new settlers. Among the famous people who were trained in Kinneret was the Israeli poet Rachel (רחל). In 1910 the first real kibbutz was erected. It was named Dgania Aleph and placed in the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee, near the Jordan River. Despite hard conditions, diseases, and hostile attacks from the neighbouring Arab tribes, kibbutz Dgania managed to survive and even flourish. This is largely due to the idealogic passion of its members. In the following years, more and more kibbutzim were erected, mainly in the Galilee and Gush Dan (The Coastal plain). In.
