Definition
Concert (formerly Kela Shlomo / Voices of Israel Ltd.) is the Israeli government's primary mechanism for coordinating and funding domestic pro-Israel advocacy operations. It operates under the sovereign matching framework, receiving dollar-for-dollar matched funds from Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs. Registered as Israeli Public Benefit Company 51-5769212.
Background & History
Concert (formerly Kela Shlomo / Voices of Israel Ltd.) was established as the Israeli government's primary mechanism for coordinating and funding domestic pro-Israel advocacy operations. It evolved from Kela Shlomo, the original name of the entity, into Concert as part of a rebranding and restructuring effort. Concert operates under the sovereign matching framework, receiving dollar-for-dollar matched funds from Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, and is registered as Israeli Public Benefit Company 51-5769212. The entity represents the sovereign-side counterpart to the domestic non-profit network.
Operational Role in the Network
Concert functions as the Israeli government-backed coordination hub for pro-Israel advocacy operations, channeling sovereign-matched capital to domestic non-profits operating under the Glazer Framework. As the successor to Kela Shlomo, it administers the dollar-for-dollar matching formula that doubles the effective capital available for pro-Israel advocacy while maintaining plausible deniability about the source of matched funds. Concert's structure as a sovereign entity enables direct Israeli government involvement in shaping domestic U.S. advocacy operations without triggering FARA registration requirements.
