The religious kibbutz Maaleh Gilboa celebrated 50 years since its establishment on the Sabbath. “I hope the next 50 years will be at least as good if not better than the past 50 years,” one kibbutz member said.

Following Sabbath prayer services older kibbutz members led tours. Member of Knesset Uri Ariel (Bayit Yehudi) was present as a guest of his sister, who lives in the community.
