Paris Kibbutz,

Paris Kibbutz is a networked kibbutz, under construction.

Paris Kibbutz is a kibbutz under construction. It is part of the kibbutz renewal movement which has been working in Israel since 1987 (see section on this site: The history of the kibbutz. The urban kibbutz). Paris Kibbutz, like any modern kibbutz, is a prototype that participates in the growing network of intentional communities around the world. (www.ic.org). The modern Kibbutz is a way of life from Jewish culture, promoted by people who think it is relevant and interesting to them, whether or not they belong to this culture.

Like any modern kibbutz, the Paris Kibbutz invests first and foremost in order to be financially independent.

His business is developing in Normandy, near Pont-Audemer, in a “reception house” called “Beit Ya’Had” (“The house together”).

Presentation of Beit Ya’Had, the social enterprise of Paris Kibbutz in Normandy:

Beit Ya’Had is a property made available to the Paris Kibbutz by an owner invested in the overall project of Paris Kibbutz. This property allows whoever wishes – to the Paris Kibbutz as to any individual, any institution, association, administration etc. – to organize various events in Beit Ya’Had, in a rural setting:

  • vacation stay
  • themed country stay or day
  • stay or day for therapeutic, ecological, artistic purposes, etc.
  • stay or training day
  • stay or day on the occasion of a party etc.

When they are not organized by Paris Kibbutz but are organized by individuals, an institution, association, administration etc., these events can be carried out with the help of volunteers, social reintegration workers and professional members of Paris kibbutz.

This event activity constitutes the main lucrative activity of Paris Kibbutz. This activity is carried out in partnership with the associations Bleu Soleil Éducation and AMCAT from whose experience it benefits, particularly with regard to psycho-socio-educational and humanitarian actions, days and stays with therapeutic, ecological and artistic purposes.

The profits from this social enterprise serve:

  • to the founding of the kibbutz which will be in the town of Sèvres, in the department of 92.
  • to the development of its psycho-socio-educational and humanitarian action called: “Tikkoun Olam”.

Please note: Beit Ya’Had welcomes up to 30 people during the day. Its accommodation with sleeping accommodation is 11 to 17 people or even 28 people by combining Beit Ya’Had with a neighboring cottage capable of accommodating 11 additional people.

Reception at Beit Ya’Had, upon request, can be:

  • kosher
  • Strictly kosher
  • Classic Airbnb

The reception house of Paris Kibbutz in Normandy, Beit Ya’Had, is equipped with verified mezuzottes.

Aside from his social enterprise, what is life like on the Paris Kibbutz?

In Normandy: the Paris Kibbutz association, for its part, regularly organizes shared moments of life at Beit Ya’Had which introduce people to the “kibbutz” way of life and its spirit. In the context of an invigorating rural nature, kosher on request and according to the requirements of each person (strict Orthodox, kosher according to the Beth Din list or even “traditionalist”), it is therefore possible for any sympathizer or member of the association to participate in:

1/Kibbutz-style stays, with a Hebrew Ulpan and various workshops (Torah study, singing, painting, calligraphy, computing, cooking, gardening, etc.) led by the participants of the stay

2/ “Volunteer” days

3/To organize weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, birthdays etc. for a maximum of fifty people, in “kibbutz mode”, which means that the family and/or the association’s volunteers prepare the event together.

In Île de France: The Paris Kibbutz offers:

1/ cultural, fun and informative outings regarding the Kibbutz de Paris project.

2/ An interkibbutz welcome

The importance at KDP of a life in close connection with nature:

Beit Ya’Had, the KDP’s reception house in Normandy, as well as the KDP’s collective living space planned for Sèvres, are places bathed in lush, conducive nature:

– Country culture, respectful relationship with animals.

– A daily life in a fulfilling relationship with nature and with animals. This relationship is defended for Man by Jewish transmission. Living simply, in a happy, respectful and close relationship with nature and animals, is one of the rarest and most precious privileges these days, a privilege that Kibbutz de Paris strives to offer to those who wish to come and share it, and benefit from it. 

Twinning:

These places of life in Normandy as soon as in Sèvres, called “matrix places”, are networked, twinned internationally with a “matrix” place in Israel: Kibbutz Mishol, the largest urban kibbutz among the 220 urban kibbutz. existing in the country now.

The Paris Kibbutz “à la carte”!

“Modern kibbutz spirit”! In a modern kibbutz, everyone must find their way, even though they are attentive and invested in the group.

Thus, at the KDP, some members do not wish to share their daily lives in a “matrix” living space. They invest, from their respective homes in Ile de France or elsewhere, in the community life of the Kibbutz of Paris by taking part “à la carte”:

  • In its psycho-socio-educational actions
  • In his monthly seminar-workshop
  • In its outings which allow you to meet and inform possible new members
  • In its organized events, days, stays and celebrations etc.
  • In his volunteer work at Beit Ya’Had
