A group of young people from the Second Aliyah, led by Eliezer Yaffe. In 1904, they left Russia for the United States, for agricultural training, in order to establish modern, advanced agriculture in the country. They arrived in Israel in 1910 and in 1913 took over the cultivation of the Kinneret yard. Despite the difference in conditions, they brought into the Kinneret yard much of the agricultural knowledge they had acquired and modern working methods, And during their year of work, the deficit in the "yard" decreased. At the end of the year, they wanted to settle in the Kinneret yard and implement their principles there, which were based on a private farm for each farmer.
