Tel Hai Fund Limited (charity 266913; company 01151421) is a London grant-maker for education, religion and physical education in Israel. It was incorporated on 14 December 1973 and registered on 11 February 1974. The name is the Revisionist memorial at Tel Hai, the 1920 battle in which Joseph Trumpeldor was killed and which Betar took as a slogan. For most of its life the board ran through Eric Graus and Graus Antiques.[1][2]
Objects
The register objects are to advance education and religion among adults and young persons, and to advance physical education among young persons, in the State of Israel. The charity makes grants to individuals, organisations and other charities. The register lists children and young people, elderly people, people with disabilities, and people of a particular ethnic or racial origin. Area of operation: London and Israel. Contact address on the register: 7 Murray Crescent, Pinner HA5 3QF. Current directors file their correspondence care of Graus Antiques, Mill Street, London W1S 2AT.[1][2]
Eric Graus
Eric Graus (April 1927) was a director from before 30 June 1991 until 12 March 2018. He died aged 90. The address on his resignation filing was 4 Melvin Hall, Golders Green Road, London NW11 9QB.[2]
Geoffrey Alderman’s obituary in The Jewish Chronicle says Graus was born in Bratislava in 1927, that the family fled to England in 1939, and that he was active in Ze'ev Jabotinsky’s Revisionist movement. In 1947 he was a member of Lehi in Mandate Palestine and formed friendships with Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. He later dealt in antiques from New Bond Street. In 1970 he established the British Herut movement. In 1972 he brought Begin to London for a first visit. In 1977, after Begin’s election, he relaunched Likud-Herut as a British pressure group for the new government. He was awarded the State of Israel Fighters Medal. Alderman writes that he was also active in the Soviet Jewry campaign, and that he worked to rehabilitate Begin against British Jews who called Begin a terrorist.[3]
Graus was life president of Likud Herut UK, honorary secretary of the Zionist Federation, and later British National Council Zionist co-chair; that he revived Betar UK in the 1970s; that he chaired the Menachem Begin Heritage Foundation; and that in 1982 he rejected Israeli responsibility for the massacre at Sabra and Shatila.
His son Jeremy Graus (July 1959), nationality filed as Israeli, country of residence Israel, has been a director since 3 September 2018 and a trustee since 20 September 2022.[2][1]

Funding in Israel
- Year to 31 March 2025: Yeshivot Shiloh £24,478; DPC Self Defence £8,500; Mosdot Neveh Tzavia £6,043; Ichud Shivat £5,715; Magen David Adom £5,500; Jerusalem Centre £4,015; IDF Widows £2,015; total £56,266 (PDF p.8).[12]
Israeli partners
The accounts give only the recipients' names (PDF p.8).[12] "Yeshivot Shiloh" is matched by name only to Yeshivat Hesder Shilo, which says it was founded in 1979.[13] Magen David Adom is Israel's national emergency medical service. The other recipients are not identified.
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.
| Finding | Confidence |
|---|---|
| The accounts record £24,478 to "Yeshivot Shiloh". Yeshivat Hesder Shilo's website says it is "located in the modern village of Shilo north of Jeursalem" [sic], and Peace Now's Settlement Watch lists Shilo as "Type Settlement", established in 1979. The grantee is matched to this yeshiva by name only.[12][13][14] | Medium (grantee identified by name only; location from the yeshiva's website and Peace Now) |
Support for the IDF: The accounts record grants of £2,015 to "IDF Widows" and £8,500 to "DPC Self Defence", identified by name only. The largest grant, £24,478 to "Yeshivot Shiloh", matches by name Yeshivat Hesder Shilo, a hesder yeshiva whose students "combine intensive Yeshiva studies with full-combat army service in the IDF"; the accounts do not describe the grant (PDF p.8).[12][13]
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;[15] 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.[16][17][18][19] 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.[20]
- Dissolved company still on the charity register. Companies House records an application for voluntary strike-off on 24 September 2025, a first Gazette notice on 7 October 2025, a suspension of the strike-off action on 11 November 2025 and final dissolution on 23 December 2025; the charity register (extract of 14 October 2026) still shows Tel Hai Fund Limited as registered.[21][5]
- Military-related grants. The grants list includes £2,015 to "IDF Widows" and £8,500 to "DPC Self Defence"; the accounts do not describe either body. The largest grant, £24,478 to "Yeshivot Shiloh", matches by name Yeshivat Hesder Shilo, whose website says its students "combine intensive Yeshiva studies with full-combat army service in the IDF" (PDF p.8).[12][13]
- Duplicated filing without an examiner's report. The PDF filed on the register contains the same nine pages twice and no independent examiner's report.[12]
- Inconsistent trustee lists. The accounts and Companies House name Michael Andrew Lewis Lee as a director, while the register lists Solomon Unsdorfer instead.[12][22][5]
