Mission

The KPF's mission is to anchor the Jewish People’s right to an independent sovereign state in law and state policy. The forum has been promoting the Basic Law proposal: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People.[3] In addition it encourages democratic accountability and judicial responsibility, while discouraging unjust judicial activism and the undue legalization of the public realm.[4] However, The KPF does not come out against the supreme court as an institution and has filed a friend of the court briefs in a number of appeals.[5]

Resources

KPF is a non-governmental organization which relies only on private donations and does not accept public funds from any government, domestic or foreign.[6] The largest donor is anonymous and sends millions of dollars annually through an American nonprofit organization called American Friends of Kohelet Policy Forum.[7] The Forum’s legislative research, policy papers, and other research based products[8] are offered to Israeli decision makers for free.
