The B’nai B’rith lodge in Jerusalem today announced that it will establish an agricultural settlement in Palestine to be named after David Yellin, the noted Palestinian scholar, who died here a month ago. Yellin was the founder of the B’nai B’rith in Palestine.
Funds to establish the Yellin colony will come from part of the $200,000 gift donated some time ago by the B’nai B’rith in America as well as from an additional 30,000 which will be raised by contributions, it was stated. Memorial meetings for Yellin were held here last night by the B’nai B’rith, by the Hebrew University and by the Jewish National Council of Palestine on the occasion of the thirtieth day after Yellin’s death.
