A kvutza, kvutzah, kevutza or kevutzah (Hebrew: קבוצה "group") (pl. kvutzot or kvutzoth) is a form of cooperative settlement founded by Jewish immigrants to Palestine during the Second Aliyah and developed during the Third Aliyah. An early form of kibbutz, the first kvutzot sought to create a way of life based on the idea of small, cooperative, intimate communal groups. Members lived in full cooperation, with a common fund for expenses and income and no private property, hierarchical authority or management structures.
