Abstract
Life on a kibbutz is not like life in a town. It is more intimate, close, and members of a kibbutz tend to consider the entire settlement in which they live as their home. Most of them know each other personally and social interaction is constant. The integration of a large number of new immigrants in each kibbutz settlement would obviously have had a significant effect on their day-to-day life. For example, in December 1947 about 100 immigrants came under the protection of the local immigration committee at Kibbutz Yagur.1
