The opening as it read in 2010
Kibbutz volunteers are mostly young people (Jewish and non-Jewish) who come from all over the world to Israel for a period of time to take part in kibbutz life. These volunteers usually arrive in Israel for a short period of time (two-three months) on a volunteer visa , and participate in all of the activities in all the branches of the kibbutz ( agriculture , kitchen , gardening and factory ). Volunteers get some pocket money (around 150 shekels a week as of 2010, depending on the structure of the kibbutz), and receive accommodation, dining, and social activities on behalf of their hosting kibbutz. Throughout the years, many kibbutz volunteers have chosen to remain in Israel after the volunteering period, often as a result of marrying Israeli citizens. Those who remain in Israel may choose to volunteer in the IDF and, if they are not Jewish, to convert to Judaism . Among the volunteers who decide to remain in Israel, many end up staying in the kibbutz they volunteered in.1
