The article says "In 1925, the British philanthropist Yisrael Yehudah Adler saved it from bankruptcy and it was renamed in his honour shortly thereafter", with a citation to the Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History. However, that source says that it "was abandoned during the Arab riots of 1936 and later resettled with the aid of money donated by a British philanthropist, Israel Yehuda Adler". So there is at least 11 years of discrepancy here. Also, I see it still called Jeida on maps circa 1940 so the history of the name is suspect too. Zerotalk02:00, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
In the official village lists of the mandate government, only Jeida appears up to 1943, then "Ramat Yishai (formerly Jeida)" appears from 1945. The 1939 village list says "Jeida, including Manor and Yefe Nof", which shows that Manor and Yefe Nof were not alternative names but names of separate places. This all needs sorting out.
