Israeli communal collective settlement with collective ownership of all property and earnings, collective organization of work and decision-making, and communal housing for children. A modified version, the
Moshav Shitufi, is similar to the
collective farms that were typical of the USSR. Other Israeli cooperative rural settlements include the
Moshav Ovdim, which has equal opportunity, and the similar but less strict
Moshav settlement.
