Kadoori Agricultural High School

Kadoorie Agricultural High School is an agricultural school and youth village in Israel situated next to Mount Tabor in the Lower Galilee, Israel, two kilometers north to the village Kfar Tavor, about 150 meters above sea level."Kadoorie" is one of two of agricultural schools founded in the year 1933 as agricultural boarding schools by the British Mandate of Palestine with the contribution of the Jewish philanthropist Sir Ellis Kadoorie whom died in the British colony in Hong Kong in the year 1922.His contribution was a sum of 100,000 British Pounds, Herbert Samuel established a comitee to determine how to use the money. Only after time when the testament itself was read it became clear that not the Israeli government would be the heiress of the money but the government of Britain, and that Kadoorie ordered in his testament to invest the money either in Israel or in Iraq. Haim Weizman contacted the brother of the deceased, Elly Kadoorie and succeeded to obtain a decision that the money will be invested in the Israel. For the Israeli-Jews there was going to be established a speculative gymnasium, and for the Israeli-Arabs there was going to be open an agriculture school. Eventually two agricultural schools named after Kadoorie were built, one in the Arab town of Tulkarm, and the second next to the village Kfar Tavor.
