CAL & CINDY MOSS & FAMILY CAL MOSS PLUMBING rivate electricity pro- duction in Israel? By a kibbutz? The anoma- ly is only too apparent. But Kfar Hanassi, a northern kib- butz settled originally by Anglo-Saxon immigrants, is about to build a hydro-electric scheme for the installation and operation of a tur- bogenerator. The electricity plant will be combined with development of a wilderness recreation park for excur- sionists from other parts of Israel and for tourists from abroad. Since its establishment in 1948, Kfar Hanassi has faced and surmounted formidable problems. When the first set- tlers, mainly from British Habonim, came to the hilly site opposite the Syrian gun emplacements, there were great arguments whether to stay or not, as there seemed to be no basis for economic development. However, grit and determination and a will- ingness to try the unusual have made the kibbutz a suc- cessful enterprise which has both survived and prospered. Kfar Hanassi is located just south of the Galilee Panhan- dle and 15 kilometers north of the Sea of Galilee. Because of its location, it is not con- nected to the National Water Carrier, nor directly to the National Water Scheme. In- stead, there is a local water association that regulates water supply, and settlements make their own pumping ar- rangements, which are over- seen and must be approved by the Israel Water Commission. Water is raised to the kib- butz homestead and to near- by fields by an electrically operated pumping system in- stalled by Kfar Hanassi three years ago. Now the kibbutz is undertaking a new enterprise — producing electricity by harnessing a small part of the Jordan River's flow. The project will be located alongside the ruins of a Crusader castle called Met- sad Ateret, at a section of the Jordan Valley relatively un- touched by man and destined to become the North Jordan Nature Reserve. Although Kfar Hanassi has received the go-ahead from the Ministry of the Interior and the Water Commissioner, its considerations and ac- tivities are not completely in- dependent, and it will be col- laborating in the venture with other interested bodies — the Jewish National Fund, p
