• To plant more trees in Israel. Israel needs
more trees. Trees represent the rekindled
strength and lifeblood of the land. Trees conserve the soil. Trees
beautify the land. Trees reclaim the wasteland. Trees provide employ-
ment and absorb thousands of the state's temporarily unemployed.
And trees strengthen our ties with Israel.
• To remind Jews to remember JNF in their Wills, thus not only linking
their names forever with the land of Israel, but that their legacy
will help ALL of Israel. JNF land supports the whole Israel economy—
it grows Israel's food—on it stand Israel's religious, educational and
welfare Institutions.
We have before us a colossal task. Just as the JNF strengthened Israel's
frontiers and developed border settlements which carried a good share
of the burden of the defense struggle, so is the JNF called upon
to strengthen existing positions and to prepare a new wave of land
settlement so vital for the future of Israel.
