Emergency Tree Planting Initiative:

Responding to Forest Fires Set by Arab Terrorists

Israel’s precious forests are burning at the hands of Arab terrorists. On April 30, 2025, massive fires deliberately set by Arab terrorists erupted across the Jerusalem Hills, forcing evacuations of multiple communities, injuring innocent civilians, and destroying thousands of acres of vital forest land. As Israelis were preparing to celebrate the nation’s 77th Independence Day, they instead faced one of the worst terrorist-ignited wildfires in the country’s history.

“And I will plant them upon their soil, Nevermore to be uprooted From the soil I have given them —said Hashem your God”

Amos 9:15

Israel Under Attack: Our Forests in Flames

The devastation continues. Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has endured relentless attacks on its land:

  • Nearly 13,000 acres of forests and nature reserves in northern Israel destroyed by Hezbollah rocket attacks
  • Southern forests scorched by Hamas rocket strikes
  • And now, massive fires in the Jerusalem Hills deliberately set by Arab terrorists have forced evacuations of communities including Neve Shalom, Beko’a, Ta’oz, Nachshon, and more

Israeli authorities have arrested several suspects on charges of arson, as the Shin Bet security agency investigates these acts of environmental terrorism that deliberately targeted Israel’s forests during Independence Day celebrations.

These aren’t just trees being lost—they’re symbols of Israel’s resilience, history, and future. Each forest represents decades of dedication and love for the land.

From Ashes to New Growth: Your Chance to Help

As Israel fights these fires, you can be part of the solution. Your contribution plants hope in Israel’s soil:

Plant a Tree Today – Rebuild Tomorrow

An Urgent Call to Action

The situation is critical. When fires destroy Israel’s forests, they don’t just take trees—they damage ecosystems, threaten communities, and wound the national spirit.

By planting a tree today, you send a powerful message:

“For every tree destroyed, we will plant another. Israel’s forests will grow again, stronger than before.”

Honor the Victims, Build the Future

Your tree planting becomes a lasting tribute to victims of terror and a testament to Israel’s enduring strength. As Prime Minister Netanyahu said during this crisis: “We will continue to build the land, because we have only one home.”

Plant your tree today. Help Israel rise from the ashes.

Here’s how you can participate 

  • Plant One Tree for $25: A personal way to connect with the land and honor the memory of the victims.
  • Plant Two Trees for $50: Double your impact and make a meaningful difference in supporting Israel’s communities.
  • Plant a Grove of Trees: Help an entire grove flourish, creating a living memorial that will endure for generations.
  • Sponsor an Israeli Community: Make a transformative contribution by beautifying an entire town in Israel, connecting you directly to a city in the Holy Land.
Planting the Future

Donate Now: Stand with Israel

This is your moment to be part of something greater. Honor the memory of the victims of October 7th, replant Israel’s lost trees, and help Israel not only survive but thrive.

Planting a tree today is a powerful act of love, faith, and unity. 

Help build a future for Israel—one tree at a time. Let’s make the Land of Israel blossom again.

Plant a Tree. Rebuild a Nation. Fulfill Prophecy.
