My family and I lived on Kibbutz Matzuva in 1973 or 1974 We attended the Ulpan and worked in various areas on the kibbutz. I am a R.N. and worked in the clinic with a Nurse who originally lived in England. It was a wonderful experience My son Neil who was 7 years old went to school nearby with a member of the kibbutz till he felt confident to speak the language, not sure he ever did,
