The Austrian civil law was invoked to prevent the Viennese Kehillah, the Jewish communal board, from making its contribution to the Keren Hayesod, the Palestine Foundation Fund.
A complaint was brought by a group of Viennese Jewish citizens, leaders of the assimilationist group and opponents of Zionism, against the recent decision of the Kehillah to allot out of the Kehillah fund a contribution to the Keren Hayesod.
The complainants demand that the Kehillah treasury be reimbursed for this contribution, that the board be removed and that a governmental commissioner be appointed to supervise the expenditure of the board.
