JNF Part 3 of 5~Cleaning up the Water

Come with us to visit Nachal Alexander, a 32-km river that flows from the West Bank city of Shechem (Nablus), passes by Tul-Karem, crosses the Hefer Valley, passing near the coastal city of Netanya before reaching the Mediterranean Sea. This once polluted water source has been cleaned up thanks to the help of JNF~The Jewish National Fund in Italy and France. 

They also created a model to give access to those in Israel who are mobility impaired. See how  easy it is to create a friendly, accessible park for all people to enjoy!

JNF Part 2 of 5~Shrinking the Negev

...the Negev will be the test of the Jewish People and the Jewish State--or only through the concerted effort of a people that volunteers and a state that plans and acts will we be able to meet the mighty task of, greening and settling the wilderness. This effort will determine the, fate of the State of Israel and the place of our people in the history of mankind...David Ben-Gurion

This is the 2nd in a five part series focusing on the work of the Jewish National Fund~JNF  in Israel. Most people know about the planting of trees, but did you know that JNF is also working with Israel on water conservation and the "greening of the Negev"? JNF has been helping to create huge water reservoirs that currently supply the western Negev. Olive groves, vineyards, cactus fields, and huge fish farms have contributed to make the Negev to be the only desert in the world to be shrinking! Friends of JNF in England, South Africa and America have invested in Action Plan Negev.

Jewish National Fund~Part 1 of 5: Trees Growing Strong

The media (often biased) is not able to show the real facts on the ground. A reporter who flies in for a days or weeks, stays in a hotel and meets a few people is unable to see below the surface. because they are "journalists on a story". People in other countries, and sadly, some who even live in Israel, have no idea of the amazing things that  make Israel special. We hope over time that you will see the wonder that is Israel.

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is known for  planting trees in Israel. To date they have been responsible for over 240 Million trees across the country. Israel is the only country in the world whose forest are "increasing"...
