The Land
Eretz Yisrael ארץ ישראל Israel as a geographic, environmental entity
The history of the Jewish People is intricately linked with the Land of Israel. This ancient relationship affirms the Jewish right to a national home on the soil of our ancestors. Accordingly, we inherit a responsibility to protect this land and its resources to ensure a continued existence for generations to come. This dimension of Israel is cultivated through IFF initiatives which:
- Perpetuate the historical significance of the Land of Israel
- Outline the unique nature of Israel’s geography
- Uphold the sustainability of Israel’s environment: desert lands, water, forests, rural and urbanized areas
- Represent the diverse wildlife native to Israel
- Illustrate the role of Israel in the bird migrations and its global effects
