We are a registered Israeli non-profit organization with friends and supporters in Israel and abroad. We are dedicated to safeguar
ding our G-d given Biblical homeland. We act out of thebelief in the central role of the Land of Israel to the future of the Jewish People “Eretz Yisrael Le’Am Yisrael” “The Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel” is our motto. We are popularly known as “the Women in Green” because of the green hats we used to wear in the nineties in our campaign explaining the dangers of the Oslo Accords which called for the abandonment of large and central parts of our homeland and the shrinking of Israel to the “Green Line”, the pre-1967 borders. A- Safeguarding the Land in very practical ways.
· * We plant trees on Israeli state lands in Judea to safeguard the lands for future generations.
* We hold educational agricultural camps for youth during school breaks and in the summer where local youth both plant trees and hear educational lectures.
· * We returned a Jewish presence to the former Israeli army base of Shdema overlooking the strategic highway between Jerusalem and Tekoa by holding weekly educational and cultural activities there for years.
