Yidisher National-Fond – Special Issue Marking 20 Years Since the Establishment of Keren Kayemet LeIsrael. Riga, March 13, 1922.
On the front, portraits of Theodor Herzl and Prof. Hermann Schapira appear alongside a special proclamation from the “Tze’irei Zion” (Young Zionists) central committee in Latvia, announcing a week dedicated to Keren Kayemet LeIsrael in honor of its 20th anniversary, described as “entirely devoted to propaganda and work for the national institution”. The proclamation states: “The day of the approval of the Mandate is approaching, which will enable the acceleration of immigration to our land. In these critical moments, we must acquire sufficient land in Eretz Israel as a foundation for the mass settlement of our people in our homeland…”. The entire issue (4 pages) is dedicated to articles discussing the great mission of Keren Kayemet LeIsrael in the redemption of Eretz Israel’s land, and the urgency of immigration and large-scale Jewish settlement in the country.
