MONTREAL — The JewisHiNa-.tional Fund of Canada has jpub-lished an expanded edition of last year*s successful teachers* educational resource manual for free distribution to all Jewish day schools in Canada.
The 130-page manual contains work sheets for classroom activities on Tu B*shvat, th^ work of JNF in Israel, and the Zionist movement in general.
JNF is asking every Jewish child to purchase at least one tree for planting in Canada Park.: Special certiflcates will be issued with each purchase.
Reaching out to Jewish youth represents a relatively new thrust of the work of the 80-year-oldJNF, the organization concerned with raising funds for the physical development of the: land of Israel
In the long term, JNFs objective is to develop future supporters of the JNF and Israel, by giving youngsters the knowledge today.
The manual was edited by the JNF*s educational emissary to Cana-
da, Ze*ev Peleg, with the assistance of Rabbi Eliezer Rokach, a principal in the Associated Hebrew Day "Schools in Toronto^ This second edition has an English as well as Hebrew section, containing work sheets suitable for even the earliest grades. ,
Activities for younger students focus on the geography of IsraeL particularly its native trees. High school students will learn about Uie origins of the Zionist movement with emphasis on the early Jewish set|le> ments in Palestine — the first of which are celebrating their IjDOth anniversary this year. Kits to the schools also include /appropriate-posters. • i ^
The Keren Kayemeth head ofjfioe in Jerusalem was so impressed with the manual that it^ was sent to JNF offices in other English-speaking countries for consideration for use in Jewish schools.
In Canada, the manual is being distributed to. eyery Jewish day school teacher and principal, and the posters to all students.
