The Vision

Protecting the future of Israel as the democratic nation-state of the Jewish people, governed by its elected leaders and grounded in the traditions and values of Judaism.

Strategic Approach

The Foundation influences public opinion and government institutions by establishing and supporting traditionally-Jewish, Zionist, conservative-leaning organizations and social movements. In this way, we are building and strengthening a conservative, national civil society, creating collaborations and coalitions around strategic issues in the short, medium and long term.

Restoring tradition and Zionism to state education

The problem:

• The deliberate erosion of Jewish knowledge and Zionist content in the public education curriculum

• The takeover of public education by the Woke movement and the so-called Deep State is the result of years of neglect, which allowed radical academic agendas to take hold of key leadership positions in the system

• Media-driven pressure against forced exposure to Judaism in the schools and kindergartens, despite the existence of a vast, silent majority of parents who support Zionism and tradition

Our current and past activities include:

• Establishing and operating a widely distributed Zionist-values content portal for middle and high school teachers

• Creating an active, independent parents’ organization within the public education system that advocates for tradition and Zionism, highlights the challenges facing state education, builds community, and raises awareness through social media and online platforms

• Initiating and leading broad efforts targeting the Ministry of Education in collaboration with civil society organizations

• Launching the “Empty Bible” campaign, which exposed the disappearance of Bible studies from the curriculum and led to its reinstatement as a core requirement in the upcoming school year

•Conducting the “Parents and Teachers Survey”, which revealed that the majority of parents support incorporating Judaism and Zionism in public education

May 2025 Achievements:

The Ministry of Education’s “Shorashim” reform strengthens Jewish and Zionist identity through four in-depth programs focused on increasing hours, budgets, oversight, and educational resources.

Education and Statistics

According to official projections by the Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of students enrolled in Israel’s public (mamlachti) education system is expected to reach around 893,000 by 2026 – an increase of more than 10% within the last five years.

A clear majority of Jewish children in Israel study in the state (mamlachti) school system — more than in both the religious and Haredi sectors combined. And yet, despite being labeled “state,” and despite most of its students coming from traditional homes, this system consistently avoids teaching national identity and Jewish heritage.

There are approximately 250,000 Arab students in the Israeli education system
a decrease of 0.2% over the past five years.

Inspiring heroism and a nationalist mind-set

How will this war be remembered by the Jewish people?

We must avoid the mistake made after the Yom Kippur War – remembered abroad as a miraculous military victory, yet still viewed here, 52 years later, through the lens of failure.

If that’s what became of the Yom Kippur War, we must work even harder to ensure Iron Swords is remembered for the triumph it truly was.

We will not let its legacy be distorted.

We were saved by a miracle. In just a few months, Israel restored its deterrence, dealing devastating blows to Hezbollah, Gaza, Syria, and even Iran. Strategic moves once considered unthinkable happened in a flash. And it all emerged from our national pain.

We must never forget the pain – But even more than that, we must not forget the miracle.

The rescue. The awakening. The gratitude.

And with God’s help – we will bring every captive home.

From every blow, we rise. From every tragedy, we forge strength. From every ruin, we build redemption.

The Problem

A loud and well-positioned minority is shaping a public narrative of weakness and despair

This is being accomplished by influencing education, memorial events, and state ceremonies with messages that downplay heroism and national resilience.

Government ministries face internal resistance

This is being accomplished by influencing education, memorial events, and state ceremonies with messages that downplay heroism and national resilience.

The national atmosphere is dominated by grief

The magnitude of the October 7th massacre, ongoing hostage crisis, widespread mourning, and long, drawn-out conflict on multiple fronts, makes it difficult to present a parallel message of strength, heroism, and divine providence.
