Degania Alef

Common card · No. 297286

Degania Alef (Hebrew: דגניה א׳, Hebrew pronunciation: ['dɡanja 'alef]) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. The Jewish community (kvutza) was founded in 1910, making it the earliest Labor Zionist farming commune in Palestine. Its status as "the mother of all kibbutzim" is sometimes contested based on a later distinction made between the smaller kvutza, applying to Degania in its beginnings, and the larger kibbutz. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Emek HaYarden (Jordan Valley) Regional Council. Degania Alef and its neighbor Degania Bet both lie south of the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee and along the Jordan River. As of 2024, it had a population of 664.
