In order to promote the aims of the l.C.D., we publish a modest bi-annual journal (in the English language) under the above name. It contains articles, newspaper excerpts, notices and various information, culled from commune and community publications from all over the world.

The International Communes Desk, in conjunction with Yad Tabenkin, has produced a series of four 32-page booklets in Hebrew under the title Communal Living Around The World in the Year 2000. Interestingly written and attractively set out by kibbutz member Eliyahu Regev (Tzetze), they have been very positively reviewed. Booklet No. 1, on Communes in the Americas, brings to life 20 individual communities and surveys 7 communal organizations. Nos. 2 and 3 cover Communes in Europe and Asia & Australasia, respectively. The great variety of other forms of communal living is surveyed in the concluding publication. It's your loss if you can't read Hebrew!




To place your order, you Hebrew readers are invited to copy the following form and post it to us, together with the relevant banknote or check (payable to International Communes Desk). If paying in cash, please send it by registered mail.
