Moshav
Moshav is a type of collective agricultural community pioneered by the labour zionists during the second aliyah (wave of Jewish immigration during the 19th Century) The moshavs were similar to kibbutzim with an emphasis on community labour and were designed as part of the zionist state-building program following the Jewish settlement in Palestine during the 19th Century. Workers produced crops and goods through pooled labour and resources and used profit and foodstuffs to provide for the community. On moshavim, people do own their own property as opposed to the kibbutz where everything is communal.
