The Jewish National Fund (JNF) in 10 Minutes

What does it mean to plant a forest—and can something as simple as a tree carry a century of history, identity, and controversy? In this episode, we explore the Jewish National Fund, from its early days raising coins in blue boxes to buy land in Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine, to its central role in shaping landscapes, communities, and environmental projects in modern Israel. We'll look at the vision behind it, the impact it's had, and the debates that continue to surround it today. Because this isn't just about trees—it's about land, legacy, and the complicated story of building a nation.
