		+
		+	[[Kiryat Sefer]] is the Haredi name for the core of [[Modi'in Illit]], the largest Israeli settlement city in the West Bank (east of the Green Line in the hills of Binyamin). The international community treats civilian settlement there as illegal under occupation law; 'Israel' disputes that. The city’s population is overwhelmingly Haredi and grew as a state-backed housing outlet for Bnei Brak and similar communities, not as a Belz-founded colony.<ref name="ToIHarediSettlers">[[Times of Israel]], [https://timesofisrael.com/black-is-the-new-orange-30-of-settlers-are-now-haredim Black is the new orange: 30% of settlers are now Haredim] ''Times of Israel''.</ref>

		+	The charity’s name and “Israel” classification mean grants are aimed at people and institutions associated with that town. The register does not publish a grant-by-grant list on the overview page.
