The Jewish Commonwealth Council, to which the Jewish Community of Gibraltar belongs, has embraced and adopted the initiative. Jewish tradition has a long history of caring for trees. In fact Jewish Law mandates Jews to be custodians of the environment.

The Executive of the Jewish Commonwealth Council therefore considered it appropriate that Jewish communities around The Commonwealth should contribute to the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy project in a suitable fashion.

In this respect Gibraltar’s Jewish Community will contribute six Etrog Trees (Citrus Medica) to the Education Area at The Alameda Gardens.
