55 JNF boxes from all over the world. Germany, England, Palestine, USA, Canada, Argentina, Mexico and elsewhere, 1930s to early 21st century.
The collection of boxes, manufactured over close to a century in three continents, reflects the scope of JNF's activity, beginning with raising funds for redeeming lands in Palestine during the first half of the 20th century and ending with afforestation and supporting the settlements from the beginning of the century to its end, as well as ideological Zionist activity among the Jews of the Diaspora.
The collection includes "Blue Boxes" from the 1930s made in Germany and Palestine, ornamental boxes, "Zion" boxes made in Palestine and bearing its short map (without the Negev) manufactured by Alfred Salzmann and Koenigshoffer, boxes bearing a long map of Palestine made in Israel during the 1940s to 1960s, manufactured by Alfred Salzmann, Chaim Murro, and others (including boxes showing Aqaba instead of Eilat), North-American and South-American boxes, boxes from various European countries, cardboard boxes, blue plastic boxes, children's boxes, and more.
Noteworthy are several boxes which do not appear in the catalog "The Blue Box" (Hebrew) by Prof. Shaul Ladani and Dotan Shulman: • A South-American metal box, unusually heavy and thick, whose front is identical to the front of the first American box – the legend "Zion" and a map of Palestine without the Negev, with Spanish legends. [ca. 1934-1948]. • South-American cardboard box, on which appears a map of forested Israel. [ca. 1980s or 1990s]. • Small Canadian cardboard box, which includes a kit for planting a tree with seeds and instructions. A joint initiative of the JNF and the Tree Canada project. [After 2007].
Enclosed: an ornamental pin designed as a JNF box, in a frame.
Size and condition vary. Good to bad overall condition.
Literature: "The Blue Box" (Hebrew) by Prof. Shaul Ladani and Dotan Shulman. Israel, 2014.

Two broadsides published during the time of the "War of Languages", dealing with the language of instruction at the educational institutions in Palestine.
1. "Gilui Daat" (Public Statement), broadside issued by the Teachers' Center, the Language Committee and the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine. [Palestine, late 1913].
The broadside opposes the decision of the board of governors of the Technion according to which "all general sciences at the Reali School and the Technion of Haifa will not be taught in Hebrew but rather in a foreign language" and explains the importance of the Hebrew language: "the language is the soul of the nation, the revival of our language is a necessary element in the revival of our nation". The broadside is signed in print by Dr. Yosef Luria on behalf of the Teachers' Center (the future Teachers Federation), Eliezer Ben Yehuda on behalf of the Language Committee and by six members of the Committee for Strengthening Hebrew Education in Palestine.
Approx. 25X40 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Filing holes in the left margin.
2. "Kol Koreh" (Public Appeal), broadside issued by the Committee for Maintaining Hebrew Education in Haifa. Haifa, December 1913.
The broadside opposes the decision of the "Ezra" society according to which the language of teaching at its educational institutions will be German, announces the establishment of a Hebrew science- and math-oriented school in Haifa (the Reali school) and invites parents to send their children to the new school.
The broadside describes the violent struggle within the educational institutions of the "Ezra" society in Jerusalem (subsequent to a strike at the "Ezra" institutions, Ottoman policemen and soldiers were placed in the institutions, and these, as stated in this broadside, acted violently towards the teachers and students). An Ottoman revenue stamp on top.
22.5X43 cm. Good condition. A few minor stains. Torn filing holes in the margins. Small tears along fold lines and an open tear in the upper right corner. Mounted on thin acid-free paper.
