KKL-JNF is working diligently to restore the sites that were damaged but is asking the public to avoid visiting them until further notice regarding their reopening. The Goal: To ensure a safe and orderly experience for all visitors.
Shelly Ben Ishay, Director of the Northern Region in KKL-JNF: "We are making every effort to restore the sites that were damaged and to ensure they are reopened safely for the public at large.
