80 fruit trees were planted on the Gal hilltop outside of Hevron by the girls’ seminary, Harav Baran. The planting was organized by the Youth for the Landof Israel Movement, and the trees were donated by the Chasdei Meir Fund.

In light of the success of this operation, the Youth of theLand ofIsrael has turned to Chasdei Meir for more help in obtaining trees for Yesha. This coming Tu B’shvat, the national day of planting trees inIsrael, thousands of students from high school and yeshivot are expected to fan out through settlements and hilltops in Yesha to plant new fruit trees. This year, as in past years, Chasdei Meir will supply many of the fruit tress to be planted  in the holy soil of the Land.
