A third charity, UK Toremet, facilitated donations to the yeshiva, which has plans to expand into Sheikh Jarrah.\n\nOhr Somayach was founded by Americans in 1972 and has a site in East Jerusalem. The yeshiva's expansion plans into Sheikh Jarrah have been approved.\n\nThe charities' donations to Ohr Somayach were reported by Middle East Eye.",
