Planting Trees in Israel as a Group: Classes, Shuls and Offices

One person orders, chooses how many trees, and signs the message from everyone, for example "From Mrs. Levi's 3rd grade". The certificate is emailed within minutes and can be printed for the classroom or noticeboard. Trees are $18 each. Each separate certificate is its own order.

When groups plant

How to do it

  1. Collect. At $18 a tree, a class or office can plant a grove with little from each person.
  2. One person orders, choosing the number of trees.
  3. Sign from the group: *From Mrs. Levi's 3rd grade*, *Your friends at Beth Shalom*, *The team at Cohen Law*.
  4. Add the recipient's email so it goes straight to them.

One certificate, or many

Each order makes one certificate, with one dedication. If every child is to have their own certificate with their own name, each is its own order.

For the classroom

Print the emailed PDF for the board, or have a printed copy mailed for $5. Children can see a sample certificate first. For what it says, see the tree certificate.

Trees are planted by our planting partner, the Jewish National Fund.
