The NILI underground had no official emblem. The symbol featured on this pin was designed by Shahar Moskovitz, winner of the NILI Emblem Design Competition held on January 13, 2026. Inspired by the life and work of Aaron Aaronsohn, discoverer of wild emmer wheat — known as the “mother of wheat” — the design draws on the image of a wheat sheaf, with the Hebrew letters NILI subtly incorporated within it, as a tribute to the underground’s clandestine activity.
