Jewish National Fund works to raise public awareness of historic sites, restore and preserve them, and develop and operate visitor centers throughout Israel, thus increasing visitation and elevating the importance of Israel’s history to residents and tourists alike. This is achieved through the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites (SPIHS), an independent nonprofit organization established in 1984 that works to locate, restore and preserve heritage sites across Israel. It oversees more than 180 heritage sites around the country, running 10 of these sites directly. Millions of visitors come to the different sites each year, learning about Israel’s Pathway to Independence.

Israel’s heritage sites had to once again close their doors to the public in September due to the Covid19 pandemic. What is usually a busy holiday season at the sites has been confined to the virtual realm of social media and memories. But even though visitors are away at the moment, the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites (SPIHS) is working tirelessly to prepare for the day everyone returns to the sites.

SPIHS sees the current situation as the perfect opportunity to implement development and improvement plans in the sites, plans that otherwise could take much longer. So, when the heritage sites reopen, school groups, soldiers, seniors, tourists and families with young children can enjoy new and engaging experiences and we can continue to preserve and share Israel’s history in the best ways possible, offering something for everyone and welcoming all sectors of society with safe, sanitized and accessible sites.
