Isaac Leib Goldberg (Hebrew: יצחק לייב גולדברג, 7 February 1860 – 14 September 1935)[1] was a Zionist leader and philanthropist in both Ottoman Palestine and the Russian Empire, and one of the principal founders of Rishon LeZion, the first Zionist settlement founded in the Land of Israel by the New Yishuv.

[1] In his early years, Goldberg studied at Kovno Yeshiva and settled in Vilnius, Lithuania.

[1][5] In 1903 the first plot of land for the Jewish National Fund was given as a gift by Goldberg for growing olives in Israel.

Upon his death, in Switzerland on 14 September 1935,[1] Goldberg bequeathed one half of his estate to the Jewish National Fund for the promotion of Hebrew language and culture.

This donation, known as the Isaac Leib and Rachel Goldberg Fund, amounted to roughly $30 million by today's standards.
