It was civilianised in January 1998 by a kvutza of 30 HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed youth group members. Since 1998 Eshbal has been home to the Galil Jewish–Arab School. The kibbutz offers a variety of educational programs including a live-in boarding school and a high school in Karmiel. Most of the boarding school children are from the Ethiopian immigrant community, which is plagued by social problems due to the difficult absorption process. The kibbutz also runs outreach programs in local Arab and Bedouin villages and organizes Jewish-Arab dialogue events. ==References== ==External links== Kibbutz website
