Book Description
A history of the Jewish National Fund and the ways it encouraged Jews around the world to buy land in Palestine in the years 1924-1947. The Jewish National Fund [JNF] is the executive body established by the Zionist movement in 1902 to buy land in Palestine for the Jewish people. Very quickly, however, it became an international organization and soon had branchesin many countries throughout the world. One of the tasks of these branches was to mediate between the central office in Jerusalem and the millions of Jews who donated money to buy land. The organization, which is still active throughout the Jewish world, concerned itself with "the marketing of ideology" the dissemination of symbols, knowledge and ideas to the masses of the Jewish people, and converted them into money and real estate property. In thememories of much of World Jewry the JNF is linked with memories of their childhoods and the forming of their identities. The memory was, in fact, fashioned by the Propaganda Department of the JNF which worked through the mass communications media in the Jewish world and made its presence massively felt in the Jewish education networks in many countries. Among the most remembered items are "the Blue Box", the flagship of the organization, and the stamps distributed to schools, which were miniature posters making political declarations. Up until today there has been virtually no research carried out on these aspects of Zionist propaganda which helped to fashion this collective memoryand left its mark upon Jewish culture in Israel and the Jewish Diaspora. Yoram Bar-Gal is Professor of Geography at Haifa University in Israel.

Book Description
In 1901, the Zionist Organization founded the Jewish National Fund to purchase lands in the Land of Israel and transfer them to the ownership of the Jewish people. The book before us examines and summarizes the JNFs land purchasing policies and endeavors, from the establishment of the Fund to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. A major part of this essay centers on the period from 1936 to 1948, which were the most important years of the JNFs activities and during which it became almost the sole Jewish entity promoting this aspect of the building of the land of Israel. During these years, the JNF purchased about 600,000 dunams, which constitute more than 60% of its acquisitions from its establishment to the establishment of the State. The pivotal nature of the JNF during those years stems first and foremost from the recognition of its settlement endeavors by the top institutions of the Zionist Organization, in promoting the political interests of the Zionist movement in the land of Israel. The creation of actual real property owned by the Jewish people which also served as a foundation for settlement was a prerequisite for achieving a Jewish state. Under its articles of association, the lands purchased by the JNF cannot be sold. They were leased for the purpose of establishing agricultural and urban settlements and subsequently, the State of Israel applied this principle to all its lands (about 20.5 million dunams), of which JNF lands now constitute about 13%.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Jewish National Fund The first edition of this pamphlet was intended to give an instructive survey of the nature and aims of the Jewish National Fund, and thus to direct the attention of the Jewish public to this important and beneficent institution, which owes its existence to the movement for the revival of Jewish national life. The Jewish National Fund had then just begun to develop a systematic colonising activity in Palestine, and hence it was necessary to discuss at length the general principles that determined the tendency of that activity. Since then this practical work in Palestine has constantly expanded, and in its course not only have many valuable experiences been gathered, but new problems have arisen that demand for their solution a corresponding development of the National Fund. In the present second edition of this pamphlet, therefore, the parts dealing with the aims and activity of the National Fund have had to be altered in accordance with the changed situation. In its amended form this pamphlet gives a survey of the works hitherto carried out, and shows that they do not - as it might appear to a superficial observer - merely represent a number of varied and even valuable, but disconnected achievements, but that they are all closely connected manifestations of one and the same strict fundamental principle of the National Fund - Jewish labour upon Jewish soil. It is necessary to emphasise this, because, owing to the constant willingness displayed by the National Fund, the disposition has lately prevailed of invoking its aid in every question of Palestinian colonisation that arises. But however gratifying the growth of the resources of this Fund may be. it cannot do everything, but must maintain an attitude of reserve towards many claims made upon it, if it is not to run the danger of being overwhelmed by countless tasks, of allowing its forces to become dissipated, and of being diverted from its principal aim. The work that the Fund accomplishes must, therefore, always he regarded and presented in the light of its basic principles; and as against the simple and prevalent view, that the National Fund "works in Palestine." it must be constantly shown what work it has to do there, and why it has to do it.
