The 26th annual Tu Bi'Shevat Telethon/Tree-A-Thon will take place this Sunday, January 26, 2014. (the 26th on the 26th!)
This year, JNF/KKL is asking for the community's help to plant trees in Adamit Park, a recreational area situated a mere one kilometer from the Lebanese border. The park holds special meaning because of its close proximity to where, in 2006, IDF soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were abducted just prior to the Second Lebanese War. In 2008, JNF Canada erected a monument in Adamit Park to honour their memories and all the victims of the war.
