Once upon a time (30 years ago?), joining a religious kibbutz was a practical option. Upon acceptance following a lengthy trial to evaluate compatibility (on both sides), housing and other necessities were provided in exchange for one’s work on behalf of the Kibbutz.

I’ve heard that the kibbutz movement in general has lost a lot of its appeal as personal priorities shifted away from the idealism of building the land of the previous generation towards more autonomous pursuit of personal financial goals (Capitalism over Socialism).
