The 2024 trustees’ report says the foundation was set up in 1984, then as The Kessler Foundation, “with the primary role of taking over ownership of the Jewish Chronicle newspaper from its prior owners, the Kessler family,” so that ownership would be transparent and independent of external influence. The same report says ''Jewish News'' “inherited this structure in 2020,” and that loans to [[The Jewish News Limited]] are treated as within the objects. The paper’s own site says the change of ownership was completed in October 2020 and that the name changed from Kessler to Jacob at about the same time, ending the near-40-year link with the ''Chronicle'' and the Kessler family.<ref name="AR"/><ref name="About">[https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/about/ About Jewish News], ''Jewish News''.</ref>

[[David Francis Kessler]] (June 1906), the ''Chronicle'' proprietor, was a director until 31 December 1991. Later Kessler directors include [[Charles Kessler]] (16 October 2018 to 5 November 2020) and [[Michael Simon Kessler]] (1 October 2014 to 1 October 2016).

Have a look at the stub and other material below on Tel Hai and produce an expanded updated wiki profile: Tel Hai Fund Ltd., provides funds to both the [[Yeshivat Hesder Shiloh]] in the settlement of Shilo  and the [[Keshet Yehuda]], a pre-military yeshiva based in the occupied Golan Heights.  It also donates funds to the [[Maarat Hamachpela Heritage Fund]].  The Maarat Hamachpela is better known as the Cave of the Patriarchs, located in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron — the scene of the [[Baruch Goldstein]] massacre. One of its directors is [[Eric Graus]], the life president of the [[Likud Herut UK]],  which is politically aligned with the governing Israeli [[Likud]] Party. The webpage of the organisation details its support for settlement activity, Israeli annexation of east Jerusalem and opposition to the principle of dismantling settlements.
 
−
In the 1970s, Graus was instrumental in the revival of [[Betar UK]], the UK affiliate of [[Betar]], a revisionist Zionist youth movement, closely linked to the [[Irgun]] organisation.  The latter was a Zionist terrorist organisation that infamously blew up the King David Hotel in 1946 (at that time the British administrative headquarters for Palestine), killing 91 people. Graus has also served as the honorary secretary of the [[Zionist Federation]].  He later became British National Council Zionist Co-Chair.  Graus is the owner of Graus Antiques dealers.  He is also the chairperson of the [[Menachem Begin Heritage Foundation]]. Begin was a former leader of the Irgun who later became Israel’s prime minister and the first leader of the Likud to assume that office. In 1982, Graus rejected the possibility of Israeli responsibility for the 1982 massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon. ----

The live file still runs through Graus Antiques. Eric Graus died in 2018. His son Jeremy, an Israeli national, is on the board with Martin Rankoff and Solomon Unsdorfer. The two grant drafts in the note do not match, so the figures below follow the fuller table only.

[[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.

[[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.<ref name="JC">Geoffrey Alderman, [https://www.thejc.com/news/obituaries/obituary-eric-graus-qcydzpra Obituary: Eric Graus], ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 14 May 2018.</ref>

The existing page on this fund adds that 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.

Tel Hai Fund Limited

Type Charitable company
Registration ID 266913
Headquarters 7 Murray Crescent, Pinner HA5 3QF; correspondence c/o Graus Antiques, Mill Street, London W1S 2AT
Area served Israel; London

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]

Where the money goes

The grant series below is the fuller of the two accounts compilations supplied for this page. An earlier draft in the same note does not match it cell for cell.

Funding in Israel

Opening of a yeshiva at Shilo, 21 December 1982 (National Library of Israel). Tel Hai Fund's largest 2024/25 grant, £24,478, went to "Yeshivot Shiloh", matched by name only to Yeshivat Hesder Shilo; the photograph is not stated to show that yeshiva

Israeli partners

The accounts give only the recipients' names (PDF p.8).[11] "Yeshivot Shiloh" is matched by name only to Yeshivat Hesder Shilo, which says it was founded in 1979.[12] Magen David Adom is Israel's national emergency medical service. The other recipients are not identified.

Support for the Israeli military

Grants (programmes). The 2024/25 accounts record £2,015 to "IDF Widows" and £8,500 to "DPC Self Defence" (identified by name only), and £24,478 to "Yeshivot Shiloh", which matches by name the hesder yeshiva in Shilo, whose students "combine intensive Yeshiva studies with full-combat army service in the IDF"; the accounts do not describe the grant (PDF p.8).[11][12] The grant table on this page sums grants to it since 2009 to £224,883.[4] Hesder yeshivot combine religious study with service in the Israel Defense Forces.

Prior scrutiny. No Charity Commission inquiry or Official Warning, and no complaint or report by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, the Islamic Human Rights Commission or Declassified UK, concerning this charity's support for soldiers was found (checked October 2026). The charity is not listed on the Powerbase page UK AWIS - supporters.

Activity beyond the Green Line

Shilo, seen from Tel Shilo (2007). Yeshivat Hesder Shilo, matched by name to Tel Hai Fund's grantee "Yeshivot Shiloh", says it is in Shilo; Peace Now lists Shilo as a settlement

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 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.[11][12][13] Medium (grantee identified by name only; location from the yeshiva's website and Peace Now)

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;[14] 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.[15][16][17][18] 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.[19]
  • 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.[20][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).[11][12]
  • 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.[11]
  • Inconsistent trustee lists. The accounts and Companies House name Michael Andrew Lewis Lee as a director, while the register lists Solomon Unsdorfer instead.[11][21][5]
