You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sir Ellis Kadoorie''' [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]] (1865–1922) was a Jewish entrepreneur and philanthropist. He was a member of the wealthy Baghdadian [[Kadoorie family]] that had large business interests in the Far East. His brother was Sir [[Elly Kadoorie]], and his nephews were [[Lawrence Kadoorie, Baron Kadoorie|Lawrence]] and [[Horace Kadoorie]]. His family were originally Iraqi [[Jew]]s from [[Baghdad]] who later migrated to [[Bombay]], [[British Raj|British India]] in the mid-eighteenth century.

Ellis Kadoorie arrived in Shanghai from Bombay in 1880 as an employee of the Iraqi Jewish firm ''David [[Sassoon family|Sassoon]] & Sons''. Within a few years he had accumulated large sums of money and had gone into business on his own account, with companies in both [[Shanghai]] and [[Hong Kong]]. Over the next two decades, the Kadoorie brothers made their fortunes, achieving success in banking, rubber plantations, electric power utilities and real estate, and gaining a major share-holding in Hong Kong Hotels Limited.

==Biography and knighthood ==
Sir Ellis was knighted in 1917. His Iraqi Jewish father moved to [[British Raj|British India]] before Ellis immigrated to Hong Kong.((cn|date=January 2023))

==Schools ==
In the 1910s, Sir Ellis founded several schools in China, among them are Sir Ellis Kadoorie School in Hong Kong, and [[Shanghai Yucai High School]].<ref>[http://www.yucai.sh.cn/miee/br.htm]((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325192207/http://www.yucai.sh.cn/miee/br.htm|date=25 March 2012))"</ref>

==Death ==
((Moresources|section|date=January 2023))
Sir Ellis died and was buried in Hong Kong on 24 February 1922.  He is buried in the Jewish Cemetery.

According to his [[Will (law)|testament]], he left £100,000 for the development of education in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]. There was great rejoicing in the [[Zionist Organization]]; naturally, everyone assumed the money was intended for Jewish education. [[Herbert Samuel]] set up a committee to plan how the money would be spent. Only some time later was Kadoorie's will read carefully, and then it turned out that the beneficiary was not specifically the British administration in Palestine, but the British government in London; Kadoorie had granted it the choice of whether to invest in Palestine or Iraq. There was no indication in his will that the money was intended to be used for Hebrew education. In the ensuing commotion, [[Chaim Weizmann|Weizmann]] managed at least to obtain a decision that the sum be invested in Palestine.

Eventually it was decided to build two separate agricultural schools in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] – The [[Kadoorie Agricultural High School]] which was built in the [[Lower Galilee]] for the Jewish population, and another, now known as [[Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie]], in [[Tulkarm]] for the Arabs.

[[Sir Ellis Kadoorie (S) Primary School|Sir Ellis Kadoorie School]] is a primary school in Hong Kong founded in 1891 (as '''The Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians''') and added a secondary school in 1980.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.sekps.edu.hk/en/school-vision-and-school-mission|title=School Vision and School Mission &#124; Sir Ellis Kadoorie (S) Primary School|website=sekps.edu.hk|accessdate=27 January 2023))</ref>
