Picture this moment: a young, tender sapling, placed by your own hands into the hole that’s been waiting just for it. Moist soil closing gently around roots that are already reaching downward, searching for their place in the earth. It’s a moment of pure joy and quiet fulfillment – one that few people ever get to experience.
Planting a tree at one of KKL-JNF’s planting centers is a truly one-of-a-kind experience, a meaningful and unforgettable connection to nature and to the land itself. The tender young tree you plant today will grow into a strong, standing tree, leaving its mark on the landscape for years to come – all thanks to you.
This is your chance to help restore neglected land and revive forests, planting a tree with your own hands at one of our special planting centers, or hosting a Zoom planting ceremony with family and friends joining from anywhere in the world – no matter how far. You’ll even receive a personal certificate, dedicated however you choose.
Some moments in life are too big for words. A date on a calendar
just isn’t enough to hold them.
Want to mark something meaningful – a birthday, a bar or bat mitzvah, a wedding, or the memory of someone you love? A planted tree will keep telling that story, personally and beautifully, for years to come.
One of the largest and best-known planting centers, spanning tens of thousands of acres. It serves as a "green lung" for central Israel, and thanks to its proximity to Ben Gurion Airport and the cities of Modi'in, Lod, and Shoham, it's also a hub for hiking, cycling, and community activities.
Located near a remarkable archaeological site, home to the remains of a Byzantine-era synagogue and a striking 1,500-year-old mosaic. Planting here is the perfect chance to become part of preserving an ancient landscape, while contributing to something new taking root.
Your “Planting Ceremony Host” is our ambassador at every planting center – the person who welcomes you on-site, on the day and time you choose, and guides you every step of the way. With warmth and expertise, they’ll walk you through the environmental and historical meaning of your planting, tell you about the center, the sapling you’re planting, and exactly how to plant it. Together, you’ll carry out the ceremony, reciting the Planter’s Prayer. Afterward, our teams take over – watering, tending, and caring for your tree with dedication and love.
