  • "Tzidkas Yoseph" is spelt almost as Tzidkas Yosef (1170278), also in this batch; no charity number is given, so the match is by name only.[2]

Israeli partners

Congregation Mosdos Toldos Aharon, the Grand Rabbi of Toldos Aharon's network of schools and talmudical colleges; the accounts do not say where it is.[2] Trustee Abraham Just is also a trustee of Mosdos Toldos Aron Limited (1203714).[1]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
Finding Confidence
The accounts give no location for the Toldos Aharon network or for Congregation Mosdos Toldos Aharon; a US non-profit of that name exists (see US counterparts), so the recipient's country is not established.[2] Not established

Support for the IDF: No IDF or military funding is stated.[2]

Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[8] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[9][10][11][12] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[13]
  • Trustee also trustee of an inquiry charity. Joseph Alexander Goldstein, a trustee here and of Friends of Mosdos Torah Veyirah (1119479), is recorded on the register as a trustee of The Rehabilitation Trust (288622),[1] one of the charities placed under the cheque-cashing class inquiry in May 2025.[9] The release makes no finding about this charity.
  • Related charity debtor. £36,630 was owed by a charity in which a trustee has an interest; it is not named.[2]
  • Negative synagogue costs. Synagogue upkeep shows –£35,910 because of a "refund of overcharged interest together with compensation from its lender".[2]
