A resolution approving the dispatch of 1,000 collective settlement instructors to various overseas countries as well as throughout Israel was adopted here today at the concluding session of the convention of the United Kibbutz Association. The convention also resolved that member settlements should be prohibited from hiring labor in kibbutzim and agreed to set up a permanent “ideological seminar.”
The Arab village of Kubeiba, located near Rehovot, has become a Jewish village and will accommodate 100 families recently-arrived from Bulgaria. All arrangements were made by the settlement division of the Jewish Agency with funds contributed by the Sephardic community in Argentina. The colony will be named “Kfar Hanagid,” in honor of Samuel Hanagid, medieval Spanish Jewish scholar and leader.
