KKL-JNF

Since its establishment in 1901, KKL-JNF has been developing the land of Israel, strengthening the bond between the Jewish people and its homeland.
They range from France, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Croatia, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia and Kosovo.
Most Prisoners of Zion originated from the former Soviet Union, yet the term encompasses Jews from regimes such as Iraq, Yemen, Morocco and Ethiopia.
In the pilot phase, housing will be developed in seven towns: Yeruham, Dimona, Arad, Kiryat Shmona, Shlomi, Acre and Nahariya.
Broader preparations and improvements are being made for the coming years, in tandem with innovations and research.
The “Jewish Rescuers Citation” was awarded posthumously to 14 individuals who rescued Jews in France, Hungary, Libya, the Netherlands and Poland.
The Re’im Recreation Area, which features the Nova music festival memorial, was a top destination during the holiday.
During the visit, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund presented rehabilitation efforts jump-started by the agency.
The event brought together national and local leaders, military officials, firefighters, Israel Defense Forces, students and residents.
KKL-JNF worked to establish permanent housing for these residents in Ruhama, funding and overseeing the construction of the homes, complete with handmade mezuzahs.
