Life on the Moshav
I have been living in the Moshav for the past week.
Ok, first of all. I know.
What is a Moshav?
Great question; I had to google to properly define ¨a unique type of cooperative farmers’ village invented in Israel in the early 20th century¨.
In my words, it is similar to a small town but more integrated into contributing to a community while still having your own house and space.
So what am I doing, and why am I here?
I am volunteering.
I came because no matter the country, I’m not too fond of the tourist area, as I feel I never learn about a country when I am a tourist. Here on, the farm, as we call it, is full of Israelis from the area or other parts of Israel.
Most are well-traveled, and when they return from their travels, they are unsure what to do, and it is the perfect place to try out a new hobby or business venture.
Naturally, all are closely related to nature, spirituality, and wanting to create a better future for themselves and those around them.
As well as foreigners, me, a guy from Iran, and even a Colombian. So I am getting a chance to practice and keep up my Spanish skills which makes me happy.
