Rare publication in Spanish about the Jewish National Fund. Buenos Aires, 1943

KEREN KAYEMET LEISRAEL FONDS NACIONAL ISRAELITA - The first publication in Spanish in Latin America about Jewish National Fund and its activities, by Dr. Wolf Nijensohn. Buenos Aires, 1943. Cover design: A hand scattering seeds over a Tower and Stockade settlement in Eretz Israel by Leon Poch.

A unique publication about the activities of Jewish National Fund, beginning with the importance of the principle of "redeeming the Land" since the early days of Zionism, when individuals purchased lands in Eretz Israel in order to legally return them to the Jews, and continuing with institutions and organizations that made redeeming the Land of Israel their goal, foremost among them the Jewish National Fund. The author details the work of the first redeemers of the Land since the 19th century - Hermann Schapira, Liliental, and Leon Pinsker, Theodor Herzl's immense activity in fundraising for this enterprise, the establishment of JNF and its work worldwide in the Jewish Diaspora to raise funds for settling Eretz Israel, describing the peak of its success: "There is no country with a Jewish population - no matter how small - that did not donate some amount to KKL, and there is no Jew, whatever his modest economic situation, who cannot afford the pleasure of donating something to its assets". Dr. Wolf describes JNF's various initiatives in addition to land redemption - the worldwide Blue Box enterprise, the Golden Book, the Children's Book, JNF stamp projects, JNF's work in Argentina and more. In the second part, the author deals primarily with numerical data - the amounts and lands acquired by JNF over the years, leasing terms, payment and transfer of ownership to the Fund, and more.
