Kibbutz

Netzer Olami is affiliated with two Kibbutzim in Israel. The last two and a half months of the Shnat Netzer program are spent on one of these kibbutzim. Whilst on kibbutz the Shnatties will be welcomed into the kibbutz community. They will be given food, accommodation and a small allowance in return for working on the kibbutz (the latter depends on which kibbutz they're at). The work that they do can vary from working in the Cheder Ochel communal dinning room, packing melons or dates, building with ecological materials or milking cows in the refet. The work that each group or individual does will depend on the needs of the kibbutz and the needs of the individual.

The two kibbutzim that Netzer is affiliated with, Yahel and Lotan, are reform kibbutzim, situated 45 minutes from Eilat in the middle of the Arava desert.
