JNF Australia is marking 125 years of the global Jewish National Fund-KKL organisation, with the anniversary coinciding with the launch of its 2026 Annual Campaign.

The organisation was established in 1901, following the vision of Theodor Herzl and the World Zionist Organisation. Since then it has been involved in Israeli land development, environmental programs, community building and infrastructure projects.

“Reaching 125 years is a remarkable achievement, but our story is far from complete,” JNF Australia CEO Doron Lazarus said.

“This milestone belongs not only to JNF, but to the generations of Australian supporters who have believed in the power of long-term investment in Israel’s future. Their commitment has helped transform vision into reality and continues to make a tangible difference in communities across the country.”

Lazarus said the organisation’s focus remained on the future.
