A new means of supporting the Jewish National Fund, the company which assumes title to all lands bought by the Jewish Agency, has been introduced. Mrs. A. V. Rosenbaum, of Brighton, England, whose late husband bequeathed an estate worth some $125,000 to the Jewish National Fund, has bought an annuity from this Fund. She has paid the sum of $6,000 to the Fund, for which it has agreed to pay her an annual amount during her life-time, the principal remaining at the full and restricted use of the Fund.
It is expected that many Jews, anxious to assure themselves of a regular annuity, but still desirous of being helpful to the Jewish National Fund, will adopt this new procedure.
