A woman from Neot Semadar picked us up. Neot Semadar is one of the few kibbutzim in Israel that have not been privatized. Everyone who lives there shares finances, no one has a specialized job, and they truly live as a community. It was fascinating to get her perspective on what it is like to live in such a place, as well as her opinions on why so many kibbutzim have moved away from that model. When we arrived at the crater, she stopped to enjoy the view. Unfortunately, her car would not start and she had to wait some time before someone with spark plugs could jump start it. Of course, we felt partially responsible, but it all worked out in the end!
