Drone Blues! Let's begin now
doing a little tour here...
I'm in Israel in a Kibbutz. A lot of people in Brazil ask me:
"What is a Kibbutz?" "What is it a Kibbutz like?"
"What does the Kibbutz look like?" Well, what you are seeing there at the front
is the "Cheder Ha'ochel" which in English means "Restaurant", "Food Room"...
Let's go on a little trip and get to know the Kibbutz.
Here is the restaurant
where the members attend to eat their meals. This image that you see there in the back
of the restaurant is the MOADON below those windows.
MOADON means club. It is a very central feature of the life in a Kibbutz.
I arrived at the Kibbutz and they made me work because that's life in a community...
Understand? You are here in this place you have to work, you have to help.
Here is my friend Gadi Karlinsky. I also work!
He also works. He works very hard. That's it, folks!
What kind of work do you do here in the Kibbutz? We make food for the people at 12 in the afternoon.
Sometimes also breakfast, dinner... but, now-a-days, breakfast and dinner only twice a week
and we only make lunch for the people who work here and in the factories.
That's it. It's good work.
So Sergio... How is life in the Kibbutz? Oh, life in the Kibbutz is a very simple life
Simple
but there are many good moments.
And also, here, as you can see, people meet each other -and sometimes at night it's full tables and chairs here.
People talk to each other,
they bring their children and talk about things that happened during the week.
The ordinary things and the important things of this community.
So, what is the Kibbutz really?
The Kibbutz is a socialist community where people have a common division of things.
For me, the Kibbutz starts here, in this place. It's very important because it's where there
is all the social contact, where everything begins.
Now we are inside the MOADON, the club is a very important place in the life in a Kibbutz.
It's a place with tables for games,
with magazines, some books... a place where people gather to drink coffee
do smalltalk, just like outside, where the rest of the tables are.
It's also a very important place because here there are meetings that decide the life in the Kibbutz.
Explain what is this place here... Now there is a party going on here
that is called...Red South.
Oh, because of the flower! A flower called Kalanit.
That flourishes now ?
The Red South Festival, happens once a year at the end of the winter.
The camps in the south are replete and covered with these red flowers.
The israelis like to observe this natural beauty.
Fale Brasil!!!
It's a very symbolic flower, very special for Israel.
It's a flower, also, which you are not allowed to pick, for you would be fined.
Then, so long! Drone Blues!
