Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Labor Zionist kibbutzniks faced a dilemma in the 1920s with the birth of their first children in Palestine. As Socialists, they saw the bourgeois Jewish family as an outdated way to control women and property. In fact, according to Socialist critique by Engels and Bebel, the bourgeois family was destined to disappear with the abolishment of capitalism. But as Jews and Zionists, they understood that the family was important for preserving tradition and building the Jewish nation. This thesis aims to shed light on the tension between Zionism and Socialism through an analysis of the family question on the early kibbutz.
