The kibbutz (pl. kibbutzim), deeply rooted in Israeli culture and history, plays an important role in the nation’s narrative as a symbol of communal living and collective values. As demographics shift, the Israeli kibbutz system, originally designed for younger society, is now becoming attractive also for the elderly people. The main aim of this paper is to examine the Israeli kibbutzim’s organisational culture in the context of challenges arising from ageing society. Drawing on Edgar Schein’s three-level model of organisational culture, the research sheds light on the shared services provided for the elderly, their participation in community life, decision-making processes, and the overall attitude of the kibbutz towards its older members. The study contributes to broader discussions on ageing, silver economy, community welfare, and sustainable development. First, a multi- modal approach in collecting and analysing data has been applied by using literature, documents, and statistics concerning all 266 Israeli kibbutzim identified at the end of 2023. In the second phase, the survey questionnaire with each question intentionally designed to reflect particular issues within Schein’s model was conducted in randomly selected settlements. Responses provide valuable insights into the dynamic interplay of traditional communal values and their modern adaptations. Schein’s model has proven practical in unravelling the complex tapestry of cultural elements that define kibbutzim, showcasing their unique blend of tradition and modernity.
