Support Communities as They Rise Again
All donations to KKL-JNF are recognized for tax purposes only in Israel, according to Section 46 of the Tax Ordinance
In the Western Negev, devastation has turned into determination. Entire communities were destroyed and uprooted on October 7, yet the people of the region are committed to rebuilding and returning home. From day one, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has been on the ground, providing vital support to affected communities. Today, we remain steadfast in helping families rebuild their lives, restoring farmlands, rehabilitating forests and nature sites, and ensuring the region can recover and thrive once more.
But we can’t do it alone – join our mission and make a real impact in Israel today.
The Day Everything Changed
On October 7, 2023, the Western Negev (Gaza Envelope) faced unimaginable loss and tragedy. Communities were shattered, livelihoods erased, and thousands were forced from their homes. Thriving, close-knit towns were left with deep physical and emotional wounds. Many lives were lost, and the events of that day changed the region and Israel forever. Yet even in the face of such hardship, the people of the Western Negev continue to show strength, resilience, and a commitment to rebuilding.
More than two years later, KKL-JNF continues to support the Western Negev – rebuilding, restoring, and creating the foundations for families to return, farmers to work their land again, and communities to regain a sense of safety and normal life. Our mission is not only to restore what was destroyed, but to build a stronger, more resilient future for the next generation.
