Your spelling is correct. A kibbutz is a collective farm. It's a form of communal living. Everyone has an assigned job. Then, they take meals together, etc. Many people who spend summers in Israel go to work on a kibbutz. For foreigners, they have Hebrew lessons as part of the daily routine. I hope this helps.

It's a group of people that live together and share everything in a communal way. It goes back to the start of the State of Israel. I worked in a kibbutz in Galilei, back in 1980, when I was 17, picking up olives and there were lots of youngsters from many countries there - nice experience. But you won't make money: they'll just lodge and feed you and give you tickets so you can buy stuff like cigarettes and whatnot inside the kibbutz.

The above answers are pretty accurate. However, the kibbutz scene in Israel has changed by leaps and bounds in the last couple of decades. When Israel was founded, kibbutzim were extremely important in settling the land, creating places for new immigrants to live and build up. Today, many have privatized, meaning, the foundation of socialism on which they were founded is no more. However, they're still great places to live, to visit, and for foreigners, it's a great immersion into Israeli culture.

your correct, a kibbutz is a israeli living community, where the parents and the chidren have separate sleeping quarters, but they work and interact during the day.
