Lavi (, ''lit.'' Lion) is a kibbutz in the Lower Galilee area of Israel. It is a member of the Religious Kibbutz Movement. Located 310 meters above sea level and 10 minutes from Tiberias, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council. ==History== The kibbutz was founded in 1949 by the British branch of Bnei Akiva, a religious Zionist youth movement. Many of the founders were amongst the 10,000 Jewish children who were brought to the United Kingdom from Germany as part of the Kinderransport following Kristallnacht. In its early years the Bachad movement raised money in the UK for the kibbutz as well as providing agricultural and educational training for Bnei Akiva and Bachad members in the UK on Thaxted Farm, Essex. Lavi was the first kibbutz where the children lived at home as opposed to a children's quarters where the children of other kibbutzim were housed, fed and put to bed.〔(Family life in Kibbutz Lavi, and its unique history )〕 Among the founders of the kibbutz was Yehuda Avner, a British immigrant who became a diplomat and advisor to several Israeli prime ministers. Two of the founders, Michael and Marion Mittwoch, who were also the first couple to be married on the kibbutz, celebrated the birth of their 100th great-grandchild in January 2015. The kibbutz was founded on land of the Arab village of Lubya, depopulated during 1948 by the Hagana forces. The source of the name "Lavi" and "Lubia" is from the ancient Lavi village which existed in the days of the Mishnah and Talmud, in which there was an inn called "Lavi", on the way from Tiberias to Tzippori. In 2005, 770 people live in the kibbutz. Since 2003 a program in Lavi has been open for children at the Jewish Free School in London The same opportunity was also opened for the King David School. The group stays in the Kibbutz for 9 weeks, while learning the nearby school and touring the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lavi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
