Maria-Theresia-Strasse 11: Jewish National Fund

The Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Leisrael, KKL) was founded in 1901 at the 5th Zionist Congress in Basel. The aim of the fund was to collect donations worldwide to support the Jewish settlement movement in what was then Palestine. After the founding of the State of Israel, the KKL focused its work on the cultivation and reforestation of the country.
