Create a Lasting Connection to Israel Through the Timeless Act of Planting a Tree

For 125 years, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has been planting trees across Israel, enriching the land and helping protect its natural environment.

Now, you too can be part of this meaningful tradition – preserving our forests and strengthening your bond to Israel.

From anywhere in the world, you can plant a tree in Israel’s soli – either in person or through a live online ceremony. Either way, you’ll enjoy a unique experience, create a living legacy in the Land of Israel, and make a lasting impact for generations to come.

“Planting a tree in Israel is an act that binds together spirit, emotion, and action. I am proud to be among those propagating what I call a ‘tree-planting culture’ in Israel and in communities around the world. In fact, I like to think that I invented the term!”
