Our Locations
Yavne'el
Yavne’el is the site of a Biblical city mentioned in the Book of Joshua (19:33) delineating the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. “And their border was from Heleph, from Elon-beza-anannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the goings out thereof were at the Jordan.” Interestingly, the Hebrew word “elon or alon” is translated into English as “oak” or “terebinth.” Yavne’el is to this day a scenic agricultural town located in the north of Israel, offering fertile land and unparalleled beauty.
Elon Moreh
Located in Samaria, Elon Moreh is the site of Abraham’s first encampment in the land that God promises his descendants, making it a meaningful location for followers of the Abrahamic faiths. Elon Moreh literally translates to “the terebinth/oak of teaching,” and there is much to learn about the biblical and cultural significance of this place, as well as its deep connection with ancient trees.
Alon Shvut
"In Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem, an oak tree has been sitting for over seven centuries between modern-day Alon-Shvut and Rosh Tzurim. The Loan Oak, as it’s called, serves as an informal mascot of the region, symbolising both loss and the return of the Jewish people to the region. Days before Israel won her battle for independence, the 127 male residents of Gush Etzion, who had sent their wives and children to safety were captured and murdered by the Jordanian Legion. During the Jordanian occupation, their widows and children would climb a hill in Jerusalem, from where they could see the Lone Oak. The tree was a symbol of both mourning, as well as yearning to return. In 1967, the descendants of the slain men returned to the area. Our project is to populate Gush Etzion with descendants of the Lone Oak, ensuring it will never be alone again.
Eitam Hill
The Biblical city of Eitam is located south of Jerusalem and is a beautiful rugged territory that is under the jurisdiction of the city of Efrat. We invite you to plant orchards and vineyards in this storied Biblical city whose local spring provided water for the Temple in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem
The ancient city of Jerusalem, home of the Temple Mount, is perhaps the most meaningful single piece of land in all of Israel. When we talk about coming home to Jerusalem, we mean coming home to our roots, both figurative in our families and heritage and literal, where we planted the nature that allowed our people to flourish and feed ourselves. Planting trees in Jerusalem is a way to return to our ancient duty to transform our land into a lush, green paradise.
Golan Heights
Throughout the centuries, the Golan has been the target of more continuous destruction than perhaps anywhere on the planet, its nature sadly destroyed by the conquering armies of empire. It is our privilege to reverse these attacks on nature and allow the ancient trees and vines of the north to flourish again with your help. The Golan holds a special significance to Jews as the home of the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph and to Christians as where the Temple of Pan is located.
