History

edit

The kibbutz was established in 1937 as a fishing village by a gar'in of HaMahanot HaOlim youth group members. It was named for its location in the Hula Valley. After the draining of the Hula swamps, the residents began working in agriculture.[2]

The documentary film Kibbutz traces the stages of grieving and disillusionment that followed Hulata's economic collapse and privatization.[3]

Hulata is a pluralistic kibbutz that accepts members from all backgrounds, both religiously observant and not.[4]
