 A Women In Green (http://www.womeningreen.org/) update as grassroots activism gains increasing influence on the global scene.

Three years ago, after the expulsion from Gush Katif, two veteran Land of Israel activist leaders joined together in an effort to re-ignite and reinvigorate the grassroots struggle against the post-Zionist expropriation of Israel. Most of the nationalist camp was exhausted and in despair, but they were not. Together, Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover initiated and led a host of new ventures to hold on to the Land of Israel and to strengthen Jewish Israelis' innate understanding that the Land of Israel belongs to them.

Women for Israel's Tomorrow (Women in Green)is a rapidly growing grassroots movement of grandmothers, mothers, wives, and daughters; housewives and professionals; secular and religious -- all bound together by a shared love, devotion and concern for Israel.  Not affiliated with or supporting any particular political party, Women for Israel's Tomorrow has chapters throughout Israel and abroad, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Toronto. Many men are among their proud supporters.

Women for Israel's Tomorrow, a registered non-profit organization, has accomplished a great deal since its founding.  Women in Green insists that Israel remain a Jewish state and actively fights to preserve a united Jerusalem. They oppose abandoning the Golan Heights and pandering to Mahmoud Abbas. The movement is dedicated to the security and Jewish heritage of historic Israel, and they are outspoken in support of the cause. They are popularly known as the "Women in Green" because of the green hats they wear.

A leading Hebrew newspaper, Maariv, has described Women in Green as "the most authentic and exciting popular resistance movement to have arisen here (in Israel) in the last few years".

Please visit Women in Green website

 Born in Belgium, Nadia made aliyah at the age of 19.  In 1993, in response to the bombshell of Oslo, she founded Women In Green with her mother-in-law Ruth Matar.

  Yehudit and her husband Tzvi were one of the founding families of Kiryat Arba and have taken a large part in its growth and development.  Among other positions, Tzvi was mayor of Kiryat Arba for the past twenty years and Yehudit was vice-mayor from 1985 to 1990.

Yehudit was one of a group of women that opened Hebron to Jewish settlement despite an uncompromising governmental ban. In the early 80's Yehudit and her family moved to Yamit, to take part in the struggle against the abandonment of the Yamit region to Egypt. She led and participated in the different Land of Israel struggles like the struggle for the establishment of the Avraham Avinu synagogue in Hebron.

 In 2005, she led the very active Kiryat Arba-Hebron struggle against the Expulsion from Gush Katif, and since the Expulsion has worked with Nadia on a host of local and national struggles and projects:

At present, Yehudit and Nadia coordinate the struggle for a Jewish Shdema, the IDF army base, abandoned bythe government three years ago, located in area C under full Israeli control, 5 kilometers from Har Choma (Jerusalem), overlooking the single artery connecting Eastern Gush Etzion with Jerusalem- in danger of being taken over  by the Palestinian Authority.

In order to circumvent the leftist media, Yehudit and Nadia distribute the LaMaas –For the Struggle over Eretz Israel publication.

 Tireless, fervent, optimistic and devoted, Katzover and Matar work with Land of Israel activists from all overIsrael and from all parts of the populace- religious and non-religious, action committees, Women in Green,public figures, Members of Knesset etc…

 Admission is Free
