Comments Rothschild 5742-1982 Israel's 34th Anniversary of Independence Coin Historians of the Jewish settlement in Palestine have awarded Baron Edmond (Abraham Benjamin) de Rothschild titles of the "famous contributor" and "Father of the Settlements". His involvement in the rebuilding of Palestine began in 1882. Since then he continued to donate some of his wealth to the establishment of agricultural settlements in Palestine. ("I could have chosen cheaper peasants, but I chose the Jewish peasants.") He took the settlement effort under his wing, supported those settlements about to collapse and established new ones. In 1924 he set up "PICA" which, under the supervision of his son, James Rothschild, continued to manage agricultural settlements and the economic enterprises he had formed and to assist in the establishment of new settlements.
