The BlueBox For dozens of years, the Blue Box served as afund raiser in every Diaspora home and every Jewish institution in Israel andabroad: A cherished, popular means to realize the Zionist vision ofestablishing a state for the Jewish people. Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL) was establishedon December 29, 1901 (9 Tevet 5562) at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel. Toraise funds for it, Haim Kleinman, a bank clerk from Nadvorna, Galicia, soonplaced a box in his office and sent off a letter to Die Welt, the Zionistnewspaper in Vienna, notifying it accordingly:\"In keeping with the saying, \'bit and bitty fill the kitty\' andfollowing the Congress resolution on KKL\'s founding, I put together an \'ErezIsrael box\', stuck the words \'National Fund\' on it and placed it in a prominentspot in my office. The results, given the extent of the experiment so far, havebeen astonishing. I suggest that like-minded people, and particularly allZionist officials, collect contributions to KKL in this way.\" The Blue Box: More Than aFundraising Device The funds raised through the Blue Box (the\"pushke,\" as it was widely known) were an instrument to redeeming theland in Eretz Israel on which the Jewish home was to arise. But the Blue Boxwas more than just a fundraising device. From the beginning, it was animportant educational vehicle spreading the Zionist word and forging the bondbetween the Jewish People and their ancient homeland. The Blue Box has changedform many times over the years, and often wasn\'t even blue. It is a symbol. Asymbol of KKL-JNF and its efforts to develop the land of Israel, plant forests,create parks, prepare soil for agriculture and settlement, carve out new roadsand build water reservoirs – A symbol of connectedness with the land. For manypeople, KKL-JNF\'s Blue Box is inseparable from their childhood memories. BlueBoxes were placed in every classroom, into which every Friday small coins weredropped. For several decades the Blue Box raised funds for environmental goals,though over time its status whittled away until it disappeared from the Israeliscene. The Blue Box was reinstated after the Second Lebanon War. Giant BlueBoxes designed by the finest Israeli artists were exhibited on Tel Aviv\'sRothschild Boulevard where the public was invited to contribute torehabilitating Israel\'s northern forests which had been destroyed in the war.Isrotel Hotels also took part in the effort with a large donation and awarded atree planting certificate to every guest in each of its hotels. The bluecharity collection boxes have been distributed by the JNF almost from itsbeginning. Once found in many Jewish homes, the boxes became one of the mostfamiliar symbols of Zionism. A children\'s song about the boxes, written by Dr.Yehoshua Frizman, Headmaster of the Real Gymnasium for Girls in Kovno, ran The box was invented when a bank clerk namedHaim Kleinman in Nadvorna, Galicia placed a blue box labeled \"KerenLe\'umit\" in his office, and suggested that similar boxes be distributed bythe Fund. The first mass-produced boxes were distributed in 1904. Kleinmanvisited Mandate Palestine in the 1930s and planned to make aliyah, but perishedin the Holocaust. Menahem Ussishkin wrote that \"The coin the childcontributes or collects for the redemption of the land is not important initself; it is not the child that gives to the Keren Kayemeth, but rather theFund that gives to the child, a foothold and lofty ideal for all the days ofhis life.\"The boxes could take a variety of shapes and sizes. Some werepaper made to fold flat like envelopes and able to contain only a small numberof coins, some early American boxes were cylindrical, some German boxes weremade of tin stamped into the shape of bound books. Israel issued postage stampsbearing the image of the blue box in 1983, 1991, and 1993 for the JNF\'s 90thanniversary. 574
