❑ To focus attention on more than 50 years of Jewish National Fund activities in Detroit in
building the land of Israel and strengthening its security with special emphasis on the new

❑ 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 employment and absorb thousands of the states
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 legancy 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 Isroel'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
settlements so vital for the future of Israel.
