As JNF celebrates 90 historic years of developing Israel's land, we confront
enormous challenges.
Imagine the sheer numbers: 1,000 Soviet Jews arrive in Israel every day, over
300,000 are projected to immigrate during 1991, 1.2 million Soviet Jews hold visas
for the Jewish homeland.

We are currently preparing land for 70,000 housing units at 55 locations. The
demands placed on us will increase — and we cannot only concentrate on housing.
The Soviet Jews are under tremendous pressure to adjust to a rapidly changing
country. If they do not find a quality of life that encourages them to stay, many will
take their considerable talents and energies to other countries.

Israel is in its third year of drought. The water supply is down by 50 percent. With
the prospect of one million more consumers, new sources must be found to ensure
that every citizen will have a sufficient supply of drinking water. JNF has built dams
and reservoirs, but more massive projects are necessary to catch rainfall and purify
contaminated water.

Three to six hundred children enter the Israeli school system every day. To
develop into healthy citizens, they require new parks and playgrounds. These JNF
facilities are also vital to the mental and emotional well-being of immigrants who
are acclimating to a new way of life.

Tourism to Israel suffered enormously during the recent Persian Gulf War. One
of JNF's top priorities is the strengthening of this essential industry. Our development
of the Galilee's Lake Kinneret shores, for example, will preserve the local waters,
establish a beach area accommodating 12,000 visitors daily, bolster the local econ-
omy and provide employment.

As Israel's cities double and triple in size, the nation's system of roads and
highways must undergo dramatic expansion. Developing communities need JNF to
blaze roads which will afford easy access to schools, hospitals and neighboring towns.

you can enable us to continue one of our proud traditions: the preparation of land to
meet the needs of Israel's immigrants.
Since 1901, as Jews from throughout the world poured into their homeland, JNF
built roads, cleared the rocky terrain for farming and laid the foundations for rural
and urban development. Through your contribution of $50, $100, $150 or any other
amount, we will accelerate our land reclamation program on behalf of the latest
group of immigrants to reach Israel's shores. With your support, we will continue
developing Israel together, so that we may reach a century of achievement!
