Leaders of KKL-JNF and JNF USA, as well as representatives from the Maccabiah Committee of 18 in Los Angeles, and families of Maccabiah participants, all gather together to plant trees in Nachshon Forest near Jerusalem, in order to mark the special occasion of the 19th Maccabiah. KKL-JNF has been a supporter of the Maccabiah games since 1934, which is, in the words of KKL-JNF World Chairman Efi Stenzler, "an investment in our future generation."
