Shalem embraces Zionism as the driving force in our efforts to ensure Israel’s security, prosperity, and peace. Since its founding, Israel has faced profound internal and external challenges threatening its very existence.
Through our commitment to supporting education, technological and academic innovation, strategic alliances, security, combating anti-Semitism, social causes, and strengthening relations with the Diaspora, we support Israel’s growth and sustainability.
