Mr Shlomo Behaim,
on behalf of the JNF (Jewish National Fund), presents an evening talk on two topics:
“Jewish Rights to the Land of Israel”
What are Jewish rights to the Land of Israel from the perspectives of the Tanach (Old Testament), History and world opinion?
And
“Restoring the Land of Milk and Honey:
The Development of Agriculture in Israel”
Agriculture has transformed Israel. In 1948 it was a land that was often rendered untillable by deforestation, soil erosion and neglect. Today over 95% of the nation’s food requirements are supplied by its own horticultural industry. In recent times technology has played an important role in increasing production yields. The fruit of the land is abundant once more.
The JNF is a non-profit organization and was established in 1901. They have planted an estimated 240 million trees throughout the land of Israel, and have built 180 dams and reservoirs, developed 250,000 acres of land and established more than 1000 parks.
This talk is brought to you in association with the
Jewish National Fund
and
New Zealand Friends of Israel
