History
History
Degania Bet was founded in 1920 by immigrants from the Second Aliyah, led by Levi Brevda (Levi Ben Amitai). It was the first planned kibbutz and was designed and built by the German Jewish architect Fritz Kornberg. One of its founders was Levi Eshkol. During the 1920 Palestine riots it was attacked and abandoned for several months. In the 1931 census of Palestine Degania Bet had a population of 138, all Jews, in a total of 39 houses. During the 1936–39 Arab revolt it served as a base for establishing tower and stockade settlements. Its population had increased to 290, still all Jewish, by the 1945 census. • Illustration — Degania B 1937 On 20 May 1948, during the Battles of the Kinarot Valley, in one of the first battles of the 1948 Arab–Israeli war, the residents of Degania Alef and Bet, assisted by a small number of military personnel, repelled a Syrian attack and succeeded in halting the advance of the Syrian army into the Jordan Valley.

In addition to its 350 cow dairy herd, crop fields, almond orchards, banana, date and avocado plantations, Degania Bet industrialized in the 1960s with Degania Sprayers, now a green industry; in 1984 it opened the Degania Silicone factory. An additional source of income is its kibbutz cottage tourist accommodation, and it specializes in organized bicycle tours.
