The following statement was issued by Americn Friends of Ateret Cohanim/Jerusalem Chai
The 5 million trees and over 12000 acres of forest destroyed is difficult to comprehend. Yet, at Ateret Cohanim, we have been witness to renewal after two thousand years of destruction in our holy city of Jerusalem. We hope and pray that the volunteers and organizations who will be responsible to rebuild and rededicate the forest will take strength and comfort from our experiences and we join in solidarity with them as they restore the forest and people.
