History

The kibbutz was originally founded in the late 1970s under the name Kishor, but was abandoned a few years later.[2] In 1997 it was refounded as Kishorit,[2] a kibbutz for individuals with special needs. Named after the Bible (Proverbs 31:19)[3][4] together with the nearby kibbutz Pelekh, whose name is the corresponding word of the same sentence.[5]

Kishorit provides its members with employment opportunities, leisure activities, private living quarters, medical supervision, nursing care and opportunities for social integration in Israeli society.[6] All members are assigned work duty in the laundry room, kitchen or one of ten work centers. The centers, all headed by outside professionals, include an organic goat farm, a chicken coop, a toy factory and a dog kennel that breeds miniature schnauzers sold in Europe.[1]
