ABSTRACT

The Kvutza has developed out of economic necessity and has demonstrated that the co-operative community is a particularly able instrument of rural rehabilitation. A basic distinction exists between the communities of the past and those of the present. Lack of privacy, though more readily averted in an individualistic community, will always be an evil accompanying intimate association; and as long as there are human groups, cliques will form and conflicts arise from differences in temperament, from personal ambitions, from likes and dislikes. The Sosua Colony, appears to present a much less fortunate state of affairs than the J.C.A. colonies. This should not be a matter of concern to anyone acquainted with the history of resettlement projects. Argentina was selected for the first Jewish project.
