It is a remnant of theancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple\'s courtyard, and is arguably themost sacred site recognized by the Jewish faith outside of the Temple Mountitself. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below streetlevel, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, commonly believed tohave been constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great, but recent excavationsindicate that the works were not finished during Herod\'s lifetime. Theremaining layers were added from the 7th century onwards. The Western Wallrefers not only to the exposed section facing a large plaza in the JewishQuarter, but also to the sections concealed behind structures running along thewhole length of the Temple Mount, such as the Little Western Wall–a 25ft(8m) section in the Muslim Quarter. It has been a site for Jewish prayerand pilgrimage for centuries; the earliest source mentioning Jewish attachmentto the site dates back to the 4th century. From the mid-19th century onwards,attempts to purchase rights to the wall and its immediate area were made byvarious Jews, but none was successful. With the rise of the Zionist movement inthe early 20th century, the wall became a source of friction between the Jewishcommunity and the Muslim religious leadership, who were worried that the wallwas being used to further Jewish nationalistic claims to the Temple Mount andJerusalem. Outbreaks of violence at the foot of the wall became commonplace andan international commission was convened in 1930 to determine the rights andclaims of Muslims and Jews in connection with the wall. After the 1948Arab-Israeli War the wall came under Jordanian control and Jews were barredfrom the site for 19 years until Israel captured the Old City in 1967 and threedays later bulldozed the 800 year old Moroccan Quarter for easier access to the wall. 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 a FundraisingDevice The funds raised through the Blue Box (the \"pushke,\" as it waswidely known) were an instrument to redeeming the land in Eretz Israel on whichthe Jewish home was to arise. But the Blue Box was more than just a fundraisingdevice. From the beginning, it was an important educational vehicle spreadingthe Zionist word and forging the bond between the Jewish People and theirancient homeland. The Blue Box has changed form many times over the years, andoften wasn\'t even blue. It is a symbol. A symbol of KKL-JNF and its efforts todevelop the land of Israel, plant forests, create parks, prepare soil foragriculture and settlement, carve out new roads and build water reservoirs – Asymbol of connectedness with the land. For many people, KKL-JNF\'s Blue Box isinseparable from their childhood memories. Blue Boxes were placed in everyclassroom, into which every Friday small coins were dropped. For severaldecades the Blue Box raised funds for Environmental goals, though over time itsstatus whittled away until it disappeared from the Israeli scene. The Blue Boxwas reinstated after the Second Lebanon War. Giant Blue Boxes designed by thefinest Israeli artists were exhibited on Tel Aviv\'s Rothschild Boulevard wherethe public was invited to contribute to rehabilitating Israel\'s northernforests which had been destroyed in the war. Isrotel Hotels also took part inthe effort with a large donation and awarded a tree planting certificate toevery guest in each of its hotels. The blue charity collection boxes have beendistributed by the JNF almost from its beginning. Once found in many Jewishhomes, the boxes became one of the most familiar symbols of Zionism. Achildren\'s song about the boxes, written by Dr. Yehoshua Frizman, Headmaster ofthe Real Gymnasium for Girls in Kovno, ran Thebox was invented when a bank clerk named Haim Kleinman in Nadvorna, Galiciaplaced a blue box labeled \"Keren Le\'umit\" in his office, andsuggested that similar boxes be distributed by the Fund. The firstmass-produced boxes were distributed in 1904. Kleinman visited MandatePalestine in the 1930s and planned to make aliyah, but perished in theHolocaust. Menahem Ussishkin wrote that \"The coin the child contributes orcollects for the redemption of the land is not important in itself; it is notthe child that gives to the Keren Kayemeth, but rather the Fund that gives tothe child, a foothold and lofty ideal for all the days of his life.\"Theboxes could take a variety of shapes and sizes. Some were paper made to foldflat like envelopes and able to contain only a small number of coins, someearly American boxes were cylindrical, some German boxes were made of tin stampedinto the shape of bound books. Israel issued postage stamps bearing the imageof the blue box in 1983, 1991, and 1993 for the JNF\'s 90th anniversary.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 (1,000km2) of land and established more than 1,000 parks. Israel officiallythe State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל‎, Medīnat Yisrā\'el,Arabic: دولة إِسرائيل‎ is a parliamentarydemocracy in the Middle East, on the south-Eastern shore of the MediterraneanSea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and theWest Bank in the east, Egypt and the Gaza Strip on the southwest, and the Gulfof Aqaba in the Red Sea to the south, and it contains geographically diversefeatures within its relatively small area. In its Basic Laws Israel definesitself as a Jewish and Democratic State; it is the world\'s only Jewish-majoritystate.On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly recommended theadoption and implementation of the partition plan of Mandatory Palestine. On 14May 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World ZionistOrganization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared\"the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as theState of Israel,\" a state independent upon the termination of the BritishMandate for Palestine, 15 May 1948.Neighboring Arab armies invaded Palestine onthe next day and fought the Israeli forces. Israel has since fought several warswith neighboring Arab states, in the course of which it has occupied the WestBank, Sinai Peninsula (between 1967 and 1982), Gaza Strip and the GolanHeights. It annexed portions of these territories, including East Jerusalem,but the border with the West Bank is disputed. Israel has signed peace treatieswith Egypt and Jordan, but efforts to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflicthave so far not resulted in peace. Israel\'s financial center is Tel Aviv, whileJerusalem is the country\'s most populous city and its capital (although notrecognized internationally as such). The population of Israel, as defined bythe Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, was estimated in 2013 to be8,002,300people, of whom 6,030,100 are Jewish. Arabs form the country\'ssecond-largest ethnic group with 1,653,900 people (including Druze andBedouins). The great majority of Israeli Arabs are settled-Muslims, withsmaller but significant numbers of semi-settled Negev Bedouins and Christians.Other minorities include various ethnic and ethno-religious denominations suchas Druze, Maronites, Samaritans, Black Hebrew Israelites, Armenians,Circassians and others. Israel is a representative democracy with aparliamentary system, proportional representation and universal suffrage. ThePrime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel\'sunicameral legislative body. Israel has one of the highest life expectancies inthe world. It is a developed country, an OECD member, and its economy, based onthe nominal gross domestic product, was the 43rd-largest in the world in 2012.Israel has the highest standard of living in the Middle East and the thirdhighest in Asia.
