Operation 100% of the Forest in our Hands!

These days, procedures are being undertaken by the Gush Etzion Council so that the matter of the Oz veGaon Nature Preserve will be properly settled with the Urban Construction Plan. Our success in this nationalist-Zionist task depends on having masses of people who have come, are coming now and will come in the future to the site. The more people who can spend time at the site and hold events there, the better our chances to arrange the required permits from the various authorities.

Our entire purpose in developing the nature preserve is to save another supporting pillar of the Land of Israel.
For many years, the Arabs illegally controlled this forest, which is the State of Israel’s land in its entirety, under the jurisdiction of the Gush Etzion Local Council.
The Arab village of Beit Fajar is located at a distance of one and a half kilometers from there and our presence in the forest is essential.

The projects that we must urgently promote in the area of Oz veGaon are:
• Flooring the open expanse so that events can be held there
• Preparations for a caravan rental park for the summer
• Additional shaded areas and pergolas
• Building 100 picnic tables, benches and playground equipment for children in order to expand our holding in the forest
A few days ago new playground equipment was set up – an omega and swings. Please see the attached photographs. Thanks to the families that donated towards the acquisition of the equipment.

We invite you to be participants in this exciting project. Anyone who donates $1000 or more will receive a picnic table or bench at Oz veGaon that can be dedicated to their loved ones.
