A grant of $108,000 to build houses for orthodox Jewish refugee children brought to Palestine under the aegis of the Youth Aliyah movement was cabled to Palestine today as a Rosh Hashonah gift by Hadassah.
The grant will be divided into two portions – $80,000 to be allocated to agricultural colonies which have recently taken in refugee children and reported inadequate housing facilities, and the remaining $28,000 to be used to build homes in a new village for boys and girls who have entered from neighboring Yemen.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
