The Future of Social Leadership – Here and Now! 🌱💡

Dozens of teams from pre-army academies across Israel took part in the annual social entrepreneurship competition, led by KKL-JNF, the Council of Pre-Army Academies, and the OpenValley network.

Participants presented innovative initiatives to tackle social challenges, and the grand prize went to “Manisharim Kalu” Academy for their inspiring project “Nice to Meet You”, which fosters meaningful dialogue between communities—on the train! 🚆

"We witnessed the future of Israeli society—young people who don’t just dream, but take action to create change" said Sar-Shalom Gerbi, Head of KKL-JNF’s Education & Community Division.

We at KKL-JNF are proud to be part of this journey—watching the next generation of leaders grow and thrive! 💙

From Remembrance to Rebuilding: KKL-JNF Honored at the March of the Living

This week, KKL-JNF proudly joined the 37th March of the Living in Poland – a solemn journey from Auschwitz to Birkenau, commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day alongside Holocaust survivors, Israeli youth, IDF soldiers, and survivors of the October 7 attacks.

For the first time, the March of the Living Honor Award was presented – recognizing organizations and individuals who have made a lasting impact in preserving the memory of the Holocaust and strengthening Israel’s national resilience. We are deeply honored that KKL-JNF Chairwoman Ifat Ovadia-Luski received this prestigious award, on behalf of KKL-JNF.

This year, our delegation also visited the Belzec death camp – a nearly forgotten site of unimaginable loss, where over 500,000 Jews were murdered in less than a year. Today, in that silent ground, we reaffirm our vow: to remember, to honor, and to build.

For over 120 years, KKL-JNF has been a living bridge between past and future. Through education, environmental development, and Zionist commitment, we ensure that the legacy of those who perished is carried into a hopeful, vibrant tomorrow.

Together, we remember. Together, we grow.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Amidst the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, after the devastation of WWII, this Blue Box of KKL-JNF was discovered—lying next to it, a revolver. A poignant symbol of hope and defiance, this small box represents the unwavering spirit of a community that dreamed of a homeland even in its darkest hours.

Today, we remember and honor the courage of those who held onto hope against all odds. Their legacy continues through every tree planted, every community rebuilt, and every act of resilience supported by KKL-JNF.

Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day – We Remember 🕯️
Today, we pause to remember.
To remember the six million Jews who were murdered simply because they were Jewish.
To remember the communities that were erased, the families torn apart, and the courage that shone through the darkness.
Within remembrance lies responsibility — to tell, to educate, and to ensure: Never Again.
May their memory be a blessing.

When the Forests Burn, KKL-JNF Responds

Today, massive wildfires erupted in the Eshtaol and Tzora forests near Beit Shemesh (near Jerusalem) forcing the evacuation of nearby communities and demanding a rapid, large-scale response.

KKL-JNF’s firefighting teams—alongside Israel’s national fire services and aerial units—have been working around the clock to contain the flames and protect lives, homes, and nature.

This is more than a fire—it’s a powerful reminder of the vital role KKL-JNF plays every day. Not just in planting and preserving forests, but also in defending them. Our people and our land are inseparable—and in times of crisis, KKL-JNF stands strong.

We are proud of our firefighters and staff on the ground, leading the effort with courage and unwavering dedication.

Earth Day – It's Time to Take Action for the Environment! 🌍🌱

Today we mark Earth Day, a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share to care for our planet.

Every small step we take to protect our forests and environment can lead to a big impact on Earth’s future. It could be as simple as bringing a trash bag on a forest hike, or becoming more mindful of what we consume.

💭 How do you care for the environment?
Now is the time to think about how we can turn every day into a day of action for nature—from reusing materials to joining KKL-JNF’s volunteer projects for the forests.

Let’s create change together—not tomorrow, not someday, but now! 🌏💚

They’re not just dreaming big – they’re building it.

This week at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, Israeli teens from all walks of life presented bold, inspiring solutions to global challenges – from fighting malaria in Africa to revolutionizing vaccine access, advancing food security, and creating inclusive education platforms.

It all happened as part of the ISDG initiative – a national program led by KKL-JNF, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Education – empowering young people to turn ideas into action for a more just, sustainable world.

These teens are showing us what the future can look like: collaborative, creative, and committed to making an impact.

Support for this generation means believing in a better tomorrow – and in Israel’s role in building it. Let’s keep growing that future, together.

A Passover of Strength, Remembrance, and Nature

Despite the tense security situation, around 1.5 million Israelis celebrated this Passover by stepping into nature—hiking, exploring, and remembering.

One of the most powerful moments took place at the Re’im Recreation Area, where over 7,000 people visited daily to pay tribute at the Nova Festival Memorial site—honoring lives lost on October 7 and embracing hope through presence and connection.

KKL-JNF forests and parks offered not just beauty, but healing.

Because in Israel, nature isn’t just a place—it’s part of our resilience.

As Passover approaches, we invite you to take a rare glimpse into how the holiday was celebrated here in the past – before matzah was sold at the supermarket, and before the Haggadah fit in your pocket.

Children baking matzah with tiny hands in 1925, Passover in the kibbutz dining hall in the 1940s, emotional holiday marches, and the traditional ascent to Mount Zion – each photo holds a world of tradition, longing, and the Israeli story.

From thousands of photos in the KKL-JNF Archive, we’ve selected small, timeless moments that became the heart of our collective memory.

Because even as we change, our holidays always connect us to something greater.
Wishing you a joyful and meaningful Passover.

A Partnership of Hope – From the Heart of the Czech Republic to the Heart of Israel 🇨🇿🇮🇱

This morning, we held a special tour in the south with H.E. Veronika Kuchynová Šmigolová, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Israel, and her team.

The ambassador planted a tree in the Ofakim Forest – a powerful symbol of the long-standing friendship between our nations.
Later, we visited the newly rebuilt kindergartens in Hatzerim, established for the evacuated children of Kibbutz Be’eri, thanks to the support of KKL Czech Republic, Slovakia, and ICEJ.

Thank you to the Czech Embassy for your heartfelt support during these difficult days.
Together, we will continue to plant, rebuild, and grow. 💙

When Together Feels Warmer ❄️🕊️

Every evening at sunset, the cranes at KKL-JNF’s Hula Lake Park gather for the night, creating a breathtaking display across the sky—with the snowcapped Mount Hermon in the background.

A beautiful reminder that nature shows us the power of togetherness 💙
