    From the time of its inception in 1901, KKL-JNF played a pivotal role in the establishment of the State of Israel. The lands that KKL-JNF bought on behalf of the Jewish people formed the contours for what would be the State of Israel. KKL-JNF continues to develop, build and nurture the land today.
