The BlueBox For dozens of years, the Blue Box served as afund raiser in every Diaspora home and every Jewish institution in Israel andabroad: A cherished, popular means to realize the Zionist vision ofestablishing a state for the Jewish people. Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL) was establishedon December 29, 1901 (9 Tevet 5562) at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel. Toraise funds for it, Haim Kleinman, a bank clerk from Nadvorna, Galicia, soonplaced a box in his office and sent off a letter to Die Welt, the Zionistnewspaper in Vienna, notifying it accordingly:\"In keeping with the saying, \'bit and bitty fill the kitty\' andfollowing the Congress resolution on KKL\'s founding, I put together an \'ErezIsrael box\', stuck the words \'National Fund\' on it and placed it in a prominentspot in my office. The results, given the extent of the experiment so far, havebeen astonishing. I suggest that like-minded people, and particularly allZionist officials, collect contributions to KKL in this way.\" The Blue Box: More Than aFundraising Device The funds raised through the Blue Box (the\"pushke,\" as it was widely known) were an instrument to redeeming theland in Eretz Israel on which the Jewish home was to arise. But the Blue Boxwas more than just a fundraising device. From the beginning, it was animportant educational vehicle spreading the Zionist word and forging the bondbetween the Jewish People and their ancient homeland. The Blue Box has changedform many times over the years, and often wasn\'t even blue. It is a symbol. Asymbol of KKL-JNF and its efforts to develop the land of Israel, plant forests,create parks, prepare soil for agriculture and settlement, carve out new roadsand build water reservoirs – A symbol of connectedness with the land. For manypeople, KKL-JNF\'s Blue Box is inseparable from their childhood memories. BlueBoxes were placed in every classroom, into which every Friday small coins weredropped. For several decades the Blue Box raised funds for Environmental goals,though over time its status whittled away until it disappeared from the Israeliscene. The Blue Box was reinstated after the Second Lebanon War. Giant BlueBoxes designed by the finest Israeli artists were exhibited on Tel Aviv\'sRothschild Boulevard where the public was invited to contribute torehabilitating Israel\'s northern forests which had been destroyed in the war.Isrotel Hotels also took part in the effort with a large donation and awarded atree planting certificate to every guest in each of its hotels. The blue charitycollection boxes have been distributed by the JNF almost from its beginning.Once found in many Jewish homes, the boxes became one of the most familiarsymbols of Zionism. A children\'s song about the boxes, written by Dr. YehoshuaFrizman, Headmaster of the Real Gymnasium for Girls in Kovno, ran The box was invented when a bank clerk namedHaim Kleinman in Nadvorna, Galicia placed a blue box labeled \"KerenLe\'umit\" in his office, and suggested that similar boxes be distributed bythe Fund. The first mass-produced boxes were distributed in 1904. Kleinmanvisited Mandate Palestine in the 1930s and planned to make aliyah, but perishedin the Holocaust. Menahem Ussishkin wrote that \"The coin the childcontributes or collects for the redemption of the land is not important initself; it is not the child that gives to the Keren Kayemeth, but rather theFund that gives to the child, a foothold and lofty ideal for all the days ofhis life.\"The boxes could take a variety of shapes and sizes. Some werepaper made to fold flat like envelopes and able to contain only a small numberof coins, some early American boxes were cylindrical, some German boxes weremade of tin stamped into the shape of bound books. Israel issued postage stampsbearing the image of the blue box in 1983, 1991, and 1993 for the JNF\'s 90thanniversary. Jerusalem Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Arabic: القُدس‎located on a plateauin the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, is one ofthe oldest cities in the world. It is considered holy to the three majorAbrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Israelis and Palestiniansboth claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primarygovernmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foreseesit as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognizedinternationally.During its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed twice,besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. Theoldest part of the city was settled in the 4th millennium BCE. In 1538, wallswere built around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those wallsdefine the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into fourquarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish,and Muslim Quarters. The Old City became a World Heritage site in 1981, and ison the List of World Heritage in Danger. Modern Jerusalem has grown far beyondits boundaries.According to the Biblical tradition, King David established thecity as the capital of the united Kingdom of Israel and his son, King Solomon,commissioned the building of the First Temple. These foundational events,straddling the dawn of the Ist Millenium BCE, assumed central symbolicimportance for the Jewish People. The sobriquet of holy city (עיר הקודש, transliterated ‘ir haqodesh) wasprobably attached to Jerusalem in post-exilic times. The holiness of Jerusalemin Christianity, conserved in the Septuagint which Christians adopted as theirown authority, was reinforced by the New Testament account of Jesus\'scrucifixion there. In Sunni Islam Jerusalem is the third-holiest city, afterMecca and Medina. In Islamic tradition in 610 CE itbecame the first Qibla, the focal point for Muslim prayer (Salah), and Muhammadmade his Night Journey there ten years later, ascending to heaven where hespeaks to God, according to the Quran. As a result, despite having an area ofonly 0.9 square kilometres (0.35sqmi), the Old City is home to manysites of seminal religious importance, among them the Temple Mount and itsWestern Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock andal-Aqsa Mosque.Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues inthe Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, WestJerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel while EastJerusalem, including the Old City, was captured and later annexed by Jordan.Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War andsubsequently annexed it. Currently, Israel\'s Basic Law refers to Jerusalem asthe country\'s \"undivided capital\". The international community hasrejected the latter annexation as illegal and treats East Jerusalem asPalestinian territory occupied by Israe The international community does notrecognize Jerusalem as Israel\'s capital, and the city hosts no foreignembassies.According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 208,000 Palestinianslive in East Jerusalem, which is sought by the Palestinian Authority as thecapital of Palestine.All branches of the Israeli government are located inJerusalem, including the Knesset (Israel\'s parliament), the residences of thePrime Minister and President, and the Supreme Court. Jerusalem is home to theHebrew University and to the Israel Museum with its Shrine of the Book. TheJerusalem Biblical Zoo has ranked consistently as Israel\'s top touristattraction for Israelis The Jewish National Fund (Hebrew: קרן קימת לישראל, Keren Kayemet LeYisrael)(abbreviated as JNF, and sometimes KKL) was founded in 1901 to buy and developland in Ottoman Palestine (later British Mandate for Palestine, andsubsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories) for Jewish settlement. TheJNF is a quasi-governmental, non-profit organization. By 2007, it owned 13% ofthe total land in Israel.Since its inception, the JNF has planted over 240million trees in Israel. It has also built 180 dams and reservoirs, developed 250,000acres (1,000km) of land and established more than 1,000 parks.
