Kibbutz Grofit
Grofit is one of the most beautiful kibbutzim in the area of Eilot.

Grofit is a multicultural community, where Hebrew, English, Spanish, Russian, amongst others, are spoken. Being a medium- sized kibbutz, Grofit's community is characterized by a warm welcome to newcomers and a tradition of accompanying and supporting olim who arrive in the framework of the "Bayit Rishon B'Moledet" program.

Young families with children of all the ages, will find everything necessary in Grofit for a "soft landing" and successful absorption. These include excellent nursery schools, schools and aftercare, a pool that remains open from April to October, playgrounds, and other extra-mural activities.

Kibbutz Lotan
The youngest kibbutz in the area, founded in 1983, Lotan belongs to the Movement for Progressive Judaism.

Lotan's small and warm community is based on Progressive Judaism, cooperative living and environmental awareness.

Lotan is open to families and singles who are looking for a small, but spiritually strong community. A community that will also enable the new immigrants to start their lives in Israel in a smooth and ecient manner. It will also enable them to become familiar with a unique way of life that members of Lotan have created throughout the years!

Kibbutz Yahel
Kibbutz Yahel is located in the southern Arava, about 60 Km north of Eilat. It is an oasis in the heart of the desert, surrounded by the hills of the Negev highlands to the west, while facing the majestic splendor of the red and purple Jordanian mountains of Edom, to the east.

Kibbutz Yahel was founded in November 1976 as a joint venture of the United Kibbutz Movement (T.A.K.A.M) and the movement for Progressive Judaism.

Kibbutz Yahel is open to singles and families who are aged between 28 and 40, and are looking for a warm and welcoming community that will support and accompany them!

For those who own or want to open a small/medium business and want to develop it in Israel, the community of Yahel will be glad to welcome them on the Bayit Rishon B'Moledet and help them to establish it on Yahel and to promote it!

Kibbutz Yotvata
Yotvata is one of the largest kibbutzim in the area of Eilot. Situated next the main road, it is just 40 kilometers from Eilat. Yotvata has approximately 280 members, with a total of 700 residents.

The very well established Yotvata is a "classic" communal kibbutz, where the famous principle "of each according to his ability, and each according to his needs", is still relevant.

The major income of the kibbutz is provided by the famous dairy factory "YOTVATA" that produces 62 million liters of milk a year, as well as numerous other dairy products.

Yotvata is open to young couples without children, who will make friends and receive a "right" start, and possibly, not just their rst, but their permanent home in Yotvata!
