Paris Kibbutz,
Paris Kibbutz in a few words:
Paris Kibbutz of Paris, founded in 2019, has set itself the project of founding a “rurban” kibbutz (“urban” because close to a large city, in this case Paris and “rural” because in a green setting, in this case the city of Sèvres), in a network with a hub in Israel “Smart Klita Village” and a hub in Cameroon “Beth Goshen”.
Paris Kibbutz is involved in the founding of the first kibbutz in an international network, also under construction, named: “Kibbutz Haolam”.
This international foundation is part of the Kibbutz renewal movement started in Israel since 1987 and aims to be an inspiring prototype for those who wish to take it up by creating their own original foundation.
The members of this foundation, like the members of the kibbutzim since 1987, are activists, “social pioneers”.
Paris Kibbutz is working with its partners in Israel and Cameroon to create a prototype that will propose an innovative way of life, capable of resolving for its members and a few others (Tikkoun Olam), a good number of problems in general ecology – examples: a civic life connected to nature, respect for nature, sharing of material goods to avoid waste, the return to bartering in the community to simplify life, the limits of salaried employment or the need for mutual aid of all kinds between citizens, etc. – and problems in human ecology – examples: problems of refugees from poverty, climate refugees, refugees from war, genocide, the problem of anti-Judaism once again threatening in Israel and in the diaspora, the fight against the new faces of efficient totalitarianism, growing in so-called “free” countries, taking into account the diversities necessary for collective life such as intergenerational, intercultural, disability, etc. -.
Paris Kibbutz, within the framework of its international network, does not aim to massively resolve the emergencies generated by the various contemporary problems stated above. Its objective is to resolve these contemporary problems for its ‘haverim ( חברים ) and a few others, within the framework of its Tikkun Olam. In doing so, it hopes to inspire other initiatives.
Its methodology: Since its inception, Paris Kibbutz has been working first and foremost on the constitution of its “Garin” group (“Garin” = “seed” in Hebrew). The ‘haverim of this group co-opt each other after taking the time to get to know each other through a monthly group study, actions and friendly experiences. Thus united, Paris Kibbutz’s “Garin” group, which continues to grow, has been particularly operational for a good year now and will soon be able to implement the collective life to which it aspires, in a network with its Israeli and Cameroonian ‘haverim.
Since 2020, Paris Kibbutz has been investing in the founding of its company: Beth Ya’had (The House Together). It is a social enterprise, recognized as being of general interest, and offering its services in the sectors of events, informal therapy and mediated therapy.
Paris Kibbutz is an association under the 1901 Law :
Paris Kibbutz is a non-profit association founded in July 2018 which promotes a way of living inspired by the classic kibbutz and the urban kibbutz, hence its name: the rurban kibbutz. This reinvention of the kibbutz has been developed by Léa Ghidalia-Schwartz.
Léa Ghidalia-Schwartz lived on a kibbutz. She has been practicing in France for more than twenty-five years as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst www.psychanalyse-psychotherapeute.com. Invested in psychoanalysis applied to the social field since 2003 by the Bleu Soleil Education/AMCAT association of which she is founder, her professional concern has always been to invest as much in the therapy of children, adults, couples and families as in prevention. . Since July 2018, this prevention has been offered in the form of an innovative lifestyle: the “rurban” kibbutz.
The association called “Psycho-social and Educational Projects and Humanitarian Actions” LKDP, under the 1901 Law, was created in parallel with Paris Kibbutz. It concentrates the actions of the association considered as being of public utility. It also delivers “cerfa” documents (receipts) to donors so that they can benefit from tax reductions of 60 and 66%.
“Paris Kibbutz” association is open to anyone interested in the kibbutz way of life, residing in France or abroad.
The kibbutz is a way of life originated from the Jewish culture, promoted by people who think it is relevant, whether they belong to this culture or not.
