When you come to the Land and you plant trees… (Vayikra, chapter 19,23)

TU BISHVAT plantings in Netzer Friday January 17

Tu Bishvat is the day we mark our connection to Eretz Yisrael by planting trees.
On Friday, January 17th we will plant trees in Netzer, in the heart of Gush Etzion, on the Path of the Patriarchs, between the communities of Elazar and Gush
Etzion.

Program:
9:00 am – planting trees on the field in memory of Devora Frank z”l, with the participation of Devora Frank’s friends from Bat Yam

Blessings by Davidi Perl, Gush Etzion local council head

9:30 – Rabbi Gideon Perl, regional rabbi of Gush Etzion, will talk about “Israeli Sovereignty over Eretz Yisrael”

Netzer:
The hills of Netzer are located in the heart of Gush Etzion, in Israeli controlled area C, between the communities of Elazar and Alon Shvut, where a battle is being waged for the guarding of the lands of Eretz Yisrael. The Arabs, aided and funded by leftist organizations from Israel and abroad, keep trying to steal the Israeli state lands between the communities by working them and establishing illegal facts on the ground. Their goal is clear: an Arab illegal take-over of all C areas between the Jewish communities in order to choke them and prevent their future expansion.

We plant trees on these statelands to protect them from Arab take-over. Women in Green have already planted hundreds of trees on tens of dunams. This is made possible thanks to generous donors from Israel and abroad and thanks to many volunteers from all over the country.

Be a partner! Join us on Friday for the tree planting ceremony.
You can also sponsor the tree planting and the upkeep of the trees all year long.
