Kibbutz Samar is a community located in the Arava valley in the far south of Israel, near Eilat and under the jurisdiction of the Eilot Regional Council. Established in 1976 by a group seeking to create a community with greater independence and responsibility for its members, Samar is named after the wild rush plant, Juncus. It stands out as one of the few Kibbutzim that still embrace the original socialist ideals of the movement, promoting equality through the principle of "From Each According to His Ability to Each According to His Need," and allowing members equal opportunities to fulfill their needs. This has led Samar to be recognized as an anarchic kibbutz with high standards of cooperation and individual autonomy.

Samar experiences an extreme desert climate with less than 70mm of annual rainfall, hot and dry weather, low humidity, and mild winters. Despite the arid environment, the kibbutz is a lush oasis with greenery and wildlife.

Economically diverse, Samar's businesses include agriculture, eco-tourism, and high-tech software development. The kibbutz prioritizes democratic values, individual planning, and ecological responsibility, with money earned collectively and allocated based on individual need. Members share in the work of basic services, contributing to a sustainable lifestyle. Samar is financially stable, regularly attracting new members and retaining existing ones, with a strong sense of community happiness and commitment.
