Noah Bee, the designer of the once-ubiquitous JNF blue box who passed away in 1992, was also a longtime JTA cartoonist:
The familiar blue charity box, or pushke, of the Jewish National Fund had been embellished from its beginning with a Magen David. Now that the Jewish state had been established, Mendel Fisher, longtime JNF executive director, decided that the blue box should display a map of Israel. Bee made two sketches, all hand-lettered, and what would become a familiar staple of Jewish homes and offices was created.
