The Jewish National Fund in Britain resolved its dispute with its parent organization, the Israeli-based Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund. After talks last week in London, the JNF agreed that it would channel its funds exclusively through Keren Kayemeth, while the Israeli organization promised to find “exciting and emotive” projects for the British-raised funds. Last month, the British arm of JNF had said it would break away from Keren Kayemeth, saying it wanted to raise and distribute its funds independently.
