Dear reader,
Welcome to this brochure about the restoration of the Montefiore Windmill in Jerusalem. A remarkable windmill named after the Italian Jewish businessman Moses Montefiore, who donated it in the mid 19th
century to help the poor, unemployed inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Today, in 2008, the Foundation Christians for Israel - in co-operation with The Jerusalem Foundation (owner of the windmill) and the Municipality of Jerusalem – has decided to restore the windmill to its former glory. So that it can be again a symbol of hope and brotherhood. Over the last 150 years the windmill has deteriorated so badly that it is little more than an empty shell.
Major work needs to be carried out to restore the sails and millstones to working order, so that the mill can again grind grain into flour. Sponsorship Restoration of the Montefiore Windmill will involve a significant financial investment. We need your help in order to complete this project. Christians for Israel is looking for sponsors who are interested in deepening their connection with Israel, and willing to invest in restoring this little piece of Holland in Israel. Sponsors of this project will not go unnoticed. Visitors
to the windmill will be able to read the names of all those businesses that have assisted to make this
project possible.
In this
brochure you will find various background information regarding the project, as well as a list of
different ways you can sponsor this exciting project.You can choose yourself which part of the windmill
you want to sponsor. What will it be – one of the sails, a floor or a part of the cap?
Shalom and thank you.
