If the local Ussishkin pub offers a laid-back kibbutz pub atmosphere.
Finally, some women’s sports – the Hapoel Kfar Menachem handball team was the first team to win the state cup in 1960/61 (and four more consecutive trophies thereafter) and also the first team to win the national league championship in 1962/63 (and 4 consecutive championships thereafter).
