PLEASE JOIN US IN A GLOBAL EFFORT TO PLANT TREES IN MEMORY OF THE COLUMBIA 
CREW

In a televised conversation from space during the Columbia mission, Ilan
Ramon, z"l made the following wish: 

"I would like to see at least 13 or 14 million new trees planted in Israel
exactly one year from now, on the anniversary of the launching." 

To fulfill this dream, we are joining a global effort to plant trees
throughout Israel, coordinated by the Jewish National Fund.  As part of
this effort, JNF is also establishing a memorial in American Independence
Park in Jerusalem to remember all seven astronauts who perished aboard the
space shuttle Columbia.  American Independence Park was created more than
25 years ago as an enduring symbol of the partnership between the United
States and Israel.  A memorial for the Challenger crew is also located in
this park. 

Minimum Contribution: $10
