With hope in their hearts and by the sweat of their brows the pioneers of Degania created a 20th century utopia, which lighted the path for others to follow. Today there are well over 200 kibbutzim, almost all on land acquired by the Jewish National Fund, which form the backbone of the young nation. It was De- gania's unique blend of theory and practice that created a democratic communal way of life. The names of Joseph and Mi- riam Baratz, Joseph Bussel, Moshe Barsky, Yitzchak Ben Yaakov and Dr. Arthur Ruppin, will forever be associated with Degania. Yosef Trumpeldor lived and worked at Degania for a time. Among the immortals of Degania was A. D. Gordon, who had migrated from Russia in 1904. Today, as the world pays its respects to the mother of the kibbutzim, celebrating its golden jubilee, two of its found- ers are still hale and hearty, Joseph and Miriam Baratz. TW 1-9550 .
