Sher Shalom - Jerby, Director of the Education and Community Division at the KKL - JNF: "These special days of the transition from shoah to tkuma (revival), the days of remembrance, independence and the liberation of Jerusalem, must also be reflected in the Jewish communities in the Diaspora. That is why we operate the JNF emissaries as part of the 'Educational Caravan Patrol', which provides Zionist education activities in schools and kindergartens in communities, which Israel is very close to, despite their physical distance. "National Month" is an opportunity to strengthen our connection with the Jewish communities in the Diaspora, as the KKL - JNF has done since its founding 120 years ago".
