About Deganya Alef
Degania Alef is a kibbutz in northern Israel. The Jewish community (kvutza) was founded in 1910, making it the earliest Labor Zionist farming commune in Palestine. Its status as "the mother of all kibbutzim" is sometimes contested based on a later distinction made between the smaller kvutza, applying to Degania in its beginnings, and the larger kibbutz.
