Keren Hayesod
Thanks to donations raised throughout the world, Keren Hayesod established over 900 urban and rural settlements in Israel while providing the newcomers with homes and jobs. During and after World War II Keren Hayesod launched emergency campaigns, sometimes in partnership with other organizations. Funds were used to help the Allied war effort, and after the liberation of the concentration camps, to smuggle massive numbers of survivors into the Land of Israel, in defiance of British immigration restrictions.
