Adullam—Colorful Multinational
Settlements Marks JNF Success
JERUSALEM — When
the Adullam project began
10 years ago, the Jewish
National Fund offered to
employ 800 families who
would come to live in the
area and reclaim the land,
which they would later
farm. In an effort to make
absorption easier, whole
groups of new immigrants
were settled in different
areas according to their
countries of origins.
It was essential to develop
the Adullam region at that
time. The difficult terrain
along the pre-1967 border
parallel to the Jerusalem
- corridor provided an easy
infiltration point for ter-
rorists. A permanent pre-
sence in the area was neces-
sary.
Givat Yishayahu and Av
iezer were the first settle-
ments, established in 1958
by new immigrants from
Hungary and Persia, re-
spectively. The Persians
soon left for the more famil-
iar city and were replaced
by Cochin Jews, who have
stayed.
Two other villages,
Adullam and Aderet,
were set up along the
pre-1967 border. Forests,
placed around the vil-
lages to protect them,
were planted by JNF
under fire from Jorda-
nian troops, while the Is-
raeli army provided
cover for the afforesta-
tion teams.
Before the project was
launched, there were only
two settlements in the area,
founded in the early days of
statehood: Netiv Halamed
Hey and Kfar Menahem.
Plans called for 15 to 17 new
villages with a total of 7,500
acres of grazing land for cat-
tle and sheep, and 6,500
acres for intensive agricul-
ture. The JNF also planned
some 7,500 acres of pine
forests for security, color
and to enhance the quality
of life in the hilly region.
The number of settle-
ments in the area today ex-
ceeds 20, with several reg-
ional centers — such as
Tsur Hadassah, Serigim
and Neve Michael — pro-
viding schools and services
for the surrounding vil-
lages. Instead of the 7,500
acres called for in the origi-
nal plans, there are 15,000
acres of grazing land and
College Camp
WASHINGTON — Some
200 college students are ex-
pected to participate in Bnai
Brith's annual summer in-
stitute at Perlman Camp in
Starlight, Pa.
The annual session will
be held Aug. 23-30, with
emphasis on Jewish studies,
Jewish living and leader-
ship training. For informa-
tion, write Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundations, 1640 Rhode

ton, D.C. 20036.

as well as chicken and
sheep. At Aviezer, for
example, each family has
its own chicken coops;
the poultry is grown for
its meat and sent to the
nearby packing and
freezing plant at Beit
Shemesh for trucking to
the local markets. The vil-
lage also has a herd of
sheep tended by the
moshav (cooperative
smallholders' settle-
ment), with the profits di-
vided among the mem-
bers.
The houses of Aviezer are
attractive and spacious.
More emphasis is being
placed on gardens and land-
scaping, as the villagers
learn to take pride in their
achievements.
500 acres of land per settle-
ment reclaimed by JNF for
garden crops and orchards
— not to mention 5,000
acres of field crops restored
by JNF and more than
22,500 acres of pine forests.
When the first mile of
road was blazed in 1957, it
was projected that over 15
miles would be cleared.
Needless to say, those 15
miles became 60 miles, and
today JNF paved roads
crisscross the valley, wind
up the hillsides and connect
the settlements • in a far-
reaching network.
As for agriculture, the
following grows here:
wheat, corn, fodder, cot-
ton, fruit trees, grapes for
wine, onions, garlic, to-
bacco, flowers for export,
