T

hirty-four-year-old Glo-
ria pedals her green
bike out of David Ben-
Gurion's beloved Negev kib-
butz and crosses the dusty
dirt path to her Jewish Agen-
cy caravan. The string of
sand-battered white caravans
house eight Israeli and im-
migrant families, the nucleus
of what is to be Kfar David.
The Israeli public has been
gripped by the tenacity of the
Kfar David settlers, some of
whom have been nurturing
the dream of a new settle-
ment for eight years. Israelis
like 'Paha Carthew, 34, and
Amit Or, 33, gave up life in
the city and on prosperous
kibbutzim to build a new com-
munity based on "a shared
economy with individualism."
Or explains that Kfar
David is an example of
holding onto pioneer values
and at the same time respon-
ding to the needs of this
generation. He says, "I knew
that we could build
something new and better
. . . I guess that's how I was
able to hold on so long."
Last year, with the Jewish
Agency's support, the first
settlers moved into their
three-room caravans. Beneath
the outline of jagged moun-
tains and surrounded by
desert bush, they are prepar-
ing for their move to the near-
by site known as "the height
of the birds." While working
at Sde Boker and learning
about desert life, which can be
as harsh as it is hauntingly
beautiful, they spend nights
huddled around a campfire
planning their futures.
The future means turning
desert browns into the greens
of fertile orchards. The rich

soil is especially suited for
pistachio nuts and seed
plants. They also plan on be-
ing a center for tourism, offer-
ing desert hikes, dune buggy
tours and the warmth and
camaraderie of a family-fun
guest house.
This is the future that
brought Gloria and Michel
Brukirer and their two
children from Brussels to the
Negev six months ago. Sur-
rounded by books, sitting on
a deeply cushioned couch in
his caravan living room,
Brukirer says, "We came to
this country to build
something new. We wanted to
live in the desert and we
wanted to find a new settle-
ment with new ideas."
Previously a factory
manager and now a worker in
Sde Boker's chicken coops,
Brukirer continues, "We
weren't looking for anything
easy. We had it easy in
Brussels."
Brukirer also hopes that
Kfar David will give im-
migrants new options, for in
his opinion, "Life . in Israeli
cities is hard. It's hard learn-
ing the language, finding
work, and becoming a part of
the country, and it can also be
very lonely." Playfully throw-
ing a ball at his son, he says,
"Here you can do something
good for yourself and for
Israel."
Colombian-born Jenny
Valdman who stands bare-
foot, balancing her son on her
hip, would pick no argument
with that. Shading her eyes
from the glare of the sun, she
says, "This is what I want in
life — to develop something
completely new To build from
scratch." And glancing
towards the wide-open spaces,
she says, "The Negev is
undeveloped. We're needed
here."
