The Jewish National Fund Hosts Annual Conference

As an attorney, Brian Greenspoon represents clients in personal injury matters. However, Brian Greenspoon still finds time for causes that are important to him, such as the Jewish National Fund.

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a UN-certified nongovernmental organization (NGO) working to improve the environment in the Middle East. It has planted trees, built dams, created parks, and engaged in other initiatives. Along with operating its programs, the JNF hosts a number of events.

One such event is the JNF National Conference, which will next be held in New York City from September 16 through September 19, 2016. Last year’s conference covered diverse topics, such as confronting water crises, creating an inclusive society, using social media, and keeping children safe. Individuals in attendance were also given the opportunity to hear speeches from prominent keynote speakers, including former Israeli prime minster Tzipi Livini and author and World Values Network founder Rabbi Shmuley Boteach To learn more about the JNF, and to register for the 2016 conference, visit www.jnf.org.                            

Brian Greenspoon: Supporting Israel Through the Jewish National Fund

At Greenspoon Dougherty, PLLC, in Deerfield Beach, Florida, Brian Greenspoon serves as managing attorney. Outside work, Brian Greenspoon supports the Jewish National Fund.

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is an organization that has made a financial and service commitment to the people and land of Israel. Three of the main mechanisms it uses to provide this support are community building, tree planting and water renewal.

The JNF’s community-building services include providing new housing in areas of the country that are largely uninhabited. These areas include large swaths of the northern and southern regions. Water-renewal projects are designed to bolster the country’s water supply through treatment and recycling of runoff and wastewater. This initiative also involves river rehabilitation. Tree planting, meanwhile, has resulted in a net gain in the overall number of trees in Israel, where natural forests are not plentiful.

The JNF has regional offices across the United States through which supporters can get involved. For more information on how to do this, visit http://www.jnf.org.
