Interesting video. I think discussing moshavim would add some balance to those who likely do not even know they exist. But the most important part of the video was the last sentence!! We should never, ever, take it for granted!! Next year in Jerusalem!! Stay healthy and Chag Sameach!

@simko8665 I will say that what definitely IS typical kibbutznik style at Lavi is the terrible food in the (depressing) cafetería! I don't know what time of year you stayed there but the prices during the Chagim (holidays) are outrageous!! If you have little kids (and can all fit in one room--we had to leave our luggage in the hallway one time, it was so tight!), one can almost justify the expense (almost!). But with some advance planning, I think there are better options, whether up north, or by the Dead Sea or Eilat.

Kibbutz Lavi I presume? Hardly "a typical kibbutz" (neither in concept or practice). But if you ever go to visit the hotel (it is a resort actually and great for families), be sure to book in the new building (it's worth the astronomical price, relatively speaking).

@simko8665 Do you know what a kibbutz is (or is/was supposed to be?)? Is Lavi the only one you have ever been to? And when you went, did you just go to the hotel for a holiday? I am only asking so I know how to answer your question properly. (Also, if your answers to the questions were No, Yes and Yes, then I would suggest just googling what is the history of the kibbutz, as well as what is a kibbutz (2 different answer in many cases), and that will likely answer your question.
