Schwaben. There was a flag
of the organization "Keren Hayesod - United Israel
Appeal" by the Israelian. Keren Hayesod seem to help Jewish
immigrants to Israel to settle down.

Notice, that the logo was printed on the backside of the flag! To
see it correctly you have to take the hoist on the right. Is this
just a mistake or is it, because Hebrew is written from right to
left ?

Keren Hayesod (The Foundation Fund) was established during the
Zionist Congress in London on July 26, 1920. Today, it is one of
the three bodies that constitute the Jewish agency (together with
the World Jewish Congress and USA's Jewish communities Union).
Keren Hayesod is also known as the United Israel Appeal. Its head
office is in Jerusalem.
The Keren Hayesod objective is to be the major organization for
collecting donations for Israel and is operating around the world
apart of the USA. Those donations are used mainly for welfare
activities including (but not solely helping new immigrants). All
its activities are according to the Keren HaYesod Act of 1956.

"Israeli hoist" is on the right side of the flag.

The Jewish Agency (also known as the World Zionist
Organization) distributes money collected by the KH/UIA. These
organizations are connected to the Israeli government.
The portion of this money that comes from the United States is
collected by the United Jewish Communities, which itself is a
merger of three US (non-Israeli) organizations, one of which- the
one actually responsible for sending money to the KH/UIA/JA/WZO-
was also known as the UIA. (The other two were the Council of
Jewish Federations, which operate at the local level, and the
UJA, which collected money from the various local federations and
distributed it not only to Israel but elsewhere overseas, through
the Joint Distribution Committee. To make things more confusing,
the local New York federation was and still is called
UJA-Federation.)
The World Jewish Congress is a private organization, completely
separate, which deals with Jewish culture around the world.
If I recall correctly, the JA building in Jerusalem says
"Jewish Agency/World Zionist Organization" over the
front door, "Keren HaYesod/United Israel Appeal" over
one wing, and "Keren Kayemet
LiYisrael/Jewish National Fund" over the other wing.

"Keren Hayesod – United Israel Appeal (Hebrew: קרן היסוד, literally "The
Foundation Fund") is an official fundraising organization for Israel with
branches in more than 40 countries. Its work is carried out in accordance with
the "חוק קרן היסוד,תשט"ז 1956" (English: Keren haYesod Law-5767/1956) (http://fs.knesset.gov.il/3/law/3_lsr_209372.PDF),
passed by the Knesset on January 10, 1956, granting the organization a unique
fundraising status. It is a registered corporation of the State of Israel.
It is considered as one of the three “National Institutions” (the other two
being the World Zionist Organization and the
The Jewish Agency for Israel referred to as such
because they were the main driving forces for the establishment in 1948 of the
modern-day "State of Israel", since all three of them predate this entity.
It was established at the World Zionist Congress in London on July 7–24,
1920 and the respective "Keren Hayesod Manifesto - 1920" (https://www.kh-uia.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Keren-Hayesod-Manifesto.pdf)
published in London, December 24th, 1920 by The Jewish Chronicle (other sources
mention the Twelfth Zionist Congress held in 1921 in Carlsbad and following
registration of the organization in London that same year on March 23), to
provide the Zionist movement with resources needed for the Jews to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine. It came in response to the Balfour Declaration of
1917, which stated that “his Majesty's government views with favour the
establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” - turning
the ages-old dream of the return to Zion into a politically feasible goal. In
1926, Keren Hayesod relocated its headquarters from London to Jerusalem. With
the establishment of the Jewish Agency in 1929, KH became its fundraising arm
while continuing its own wide-ranging activities.
