Tel Hai fund was a fund for raising and distributing money used by the Revisionist Zionist Movement. The fund was established in London in 1929 after the 1929 riots, to support Jewish defense in Palestine and to teach self-defense to the Zionist youth. Beitar Youth movement members actively raised money for the fund which competed with the activities of JNF. The "Hanukkah Project" of the fund was founded on December 29, 1935.
