Kibbutz Bahan was founded on 10.10.1954, the day before the Sukkot eve holiday, by members of the "Lamerchav" Zionist pioneer youth movement from Argentina.

Bahan, like all the kibbutzim, was based on the principle "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

At the beginning of the 21^st century Kibbutz Bahan was redefined as a "renewed kibbutz", the result of a process of socio-economic changes which many kibbutzim underwent. The kibbutz members' personal income and expenditures became their own and are no longer shared. A certain percentage of their personal budget goes to a mutual responsibility fund for members' special needs.

In 2012 an Activating Liquidator was appointed to run the kibbutz. The Liquidator has the authority to manage, decide on and execute every aspect of kibbutz activity. The kibbutz members have no status whatsoever in decision-making or management.

Questions arise: what happens to a person when old ideas, upon which his or her self-image was based, change? What happens to that person when imagery change? What happens to him or her when the dream falls apart?
