Recorded message in the Hebrew language by the President of the Jewish National Fund, Menachem Ussishkin. The message is aimed at The JNF activists in the USA, and demands they increase their contributions, to enable the purchase of more land. Ussishkin starts with a chilling description of the Jewish condition. The Diaspora is aflame. Our people are endangered by the flames. In the land of Israel, too, a terrific struggle is being waged for our future there”. Nonetheless, he calls on the Jewish people to take their fate into their own hands, and build a future in the land of Israel: “Our slogan is: more land, more people!”. After the recording, there are English subtitles added which translate his message.
