Why we have no party funding — and why this is to our advantage
In the State of Israel, government "party funding" is a polite term for money taken from all of us by force to finance political apparatuses that we don’t necessarily support. The establishment parties currently in the Knesset live off this pipeline, which makes them beholden to the "system" — and not necessarily to their voters. Zehut is not part of that system – and that’s a good thing.
Uncompromising Commitment
When a party depends on government money, it’s careful not to "rock the boat." We’re committed solely to our values and our supporters. Our autonomy begins with our economic independence.
Absolute Ideological Freedom
The fact that we do not receive government funding is precisely what allows us to present the Jewish vision in its entirety, without apologizing and without cutting corners.
Maximum Efficiency
Since our entire budget comes from the voluntary donations of partners who believe in our path, we treat every shekel with reverence. In Zehut, there are no patronage jobs and there’s no squandering of "public funds."
Where the Money Goes
Your donation is your partnership, and it is the fuel that powers Zehut. Here’s the breakdown of how we invest our resources – resources you share in as partners:
Promoting and Disseminating Our Detailed Party Platform
Presenting our core policy programs to the public — ranging from education and healthcare, through security and government structure, to the justice system, religion-state relations, and Jewish identity. These are our practical plans to change the face of the country.
Building Field Infrastructure and Local Chapters
Establishing and operating grassroots groups across the country — a living community with face-to-face meetings and a physical presence in the field.
Digital and Public Advocacy
Reaching new audiences and breaking through the barriers of the establishment media to bring the message of freedom and Jewish identity to every home in Israel.
Events and Conferences
Organizing activist conferences, lectures by Moshe Feiglin and Zehut representatives, and introductory meetings that build the critical mass needed for real political change.
Technological Development
Developing systems for volunteer management and advanced tools to enable us to outperform parties with huge budgets through intelligence, efficiency, and dedication to our goal.
