BLUE BOX
BLUE BOX
The first JNF Blue Box was the brainchild of Haim Kleinman, a bank clerk from Nadvorna, Galicia, who placed a box in his office with the words ‘national fund’ stuck on it, telling himself: ‘Every day I’ll drop in a coin and at the end of the year I’ll have 365’. From here the Blue Box was born.
For over a century, money raised in Blue Boxes has assisted Zionist pioneers in their efforts to build the infrastructure of a modern, thriving State.
Today, the Blue Box remains a powerful symbol of Jewish unity and a reminder of the part every Jew can play in strengthening Eretz Israel.
