The Jewish Child Forest is an Israeli grove in the Western Upper Galilee. It was planted by the Jewish National Fund between 1978 and 1979, to mark the 30th year of the State of Israel, as part of an educational operation to learn about the Holocaust.[1]
Location
[edit]The forest is located between Nahal Sarach and Nahal Galil Jubilee, close to the seat of Gornot HaGalil, not far from Goren Park. In the forest complex is the ancient settlement of Horvat Danaila.
In the forest there is a short circular path and a free parking lot. The initiator of the planting of the forest was chairman of the Jewish National Fund Board of Directors, Moshe Rivlin. Originally, the forest was supposed to be planted in the Negev, between Beersheba and Yatir area.[1] The project's aim was to strengthen the relationship between the children of Israel and the children of the diaspora. Thousands of children from Israel and the Diaspora took part in the planting. Each child planted two trees: one for him and one for a child who perished in the Holocaust.
To commemorate the occasion of the forest planting, in December 1977, a series of stamps with a issued in the value of 1 shekel. It was the first Jewish National Fund stamp on which the value "shekel" appeared (the shekel coin came into use only later), and it was sold for 7.5 lei.[2]
