The Religious Kibbutz Movement (Hebrew: הקיבוץ הדתי, HaKibbutz HaDati) is an organizational framework for Orthodox kibbutzim in Israel.
Its membership includes 22 communities, 16 of them traditional kibbutzim, and 6 others in the category of Moshav shitufi, meaning that they have no communal dining hall or children's house but maintain a shared economy.
[1] It was the fourth kibbutz movement established in Palestine, after Hever Hakvutzot, HaKibbutz HaMeuhad and Hashomer Hatzair.
The first was in the Beit Shean Valley (Tirat Zvi, Sde Eliyahu and Ein HaNetziv) the second was in the Hebron mountains south of Bethlehem (known as Gush Etzion: Kfar Etzion, Masu'ot Yitzhak and Ein Tzurim), and the third was in the western Negev (Sa'ad and Be'erot Yitzhak).
Three kibbutzim, Beerot Yitzhak, Sde Eliyahu and Yavneh, also offer 5-month ulpan (Hebrew language study) programs for participants from abroad.
