The Jewish National Fund’s development projects in the Galilee has received a considerable boost through the work of Latin American Jewish communities, the JNF announced here.
Forests are being named after Latin American Jewish leaders and institutions, parks and picnic areas are being developed, long-established moshavim are being replanned and considerable funds are being directed at the establishment of new outposts in the Galilee.
The JNF especially noted the contribution of the 35,000-member Jewish community of Mexico, which undertook several important projects, including the replanning of the moshavim at Goren and Zuriel which involves paving sidewalks, planting gardens, improving the exteriors of buildings and fixing outdoor lighting. The Mexican Jewish community also contributed funds for the planting of a 150,000-tree forest along the Acre-Safed road.
