The Jaffa Orange: symbolize the pioneer of Zionism.
Jaffa became one of the main city of exporting oranges to the world, actually the orange took Jaffa name.
In Jewish Israeli culture, Jaffaoranges are associated with the pioneer of Zionism. In the 19th century, Zionist pioneers and benefactors such as Edmond James de Rothschild purchased orange orchards, introduced Jewish labor and modern agricultural methods to Palestine. Such agricultural initiatives were harnessed by Zionist leaders as one of the socialist pillars of early Zionism: a rationalist, self-reliant worker/farmer living off the land, achieving self-realization, security and equality through national independence and enterprise in Palestine.ggg
