Funding in Israel
- Grants to institutions, 2025 (2024), as listed in the accounts: Atzmona/Otzem £1,000; Beis Yisroel £1,000; Machon Maayan £4,000 (£790); Meorot Yerushalayim nil (£2,000); Midreshet Amit £2,000; Midreshet Eshel £1,000; Midreshet Harova £1,000; Reishit Yerushalayim £1,066 (£2,000); Shaalvim £1,000; Shearim £350 – total £12,416 (£4,790). Grants to individuals for education were £23,800 (£6,800). No places are given for the recipients.[1]
Israeli partners
The institutions listed above; the accounts give no addresses or descriptions. For "Atzmona/Otzem" and the earlier grants to Yeshivat HaKotel, see Support for the Israeli military.[1]
Support for the Israeli military
Grants (programme). The 2024/25 accounts list £1,000 to "Atzmona/Otzem", which matches by name the Otzem pre-military academy; the identification is by name only.[1][10] Pre-military academies (mechinot) combine religious or leadership study with preparation for service in the Israel Defense Forces. Israel National News reported in 2011 that "the Otzem pre-military academy was demolished in the expulsion from Gush Katif", that "Of the roughly 1,300 young men who have passed through its doors, 90% have gone on to combat units", and that its new campus "is located in Neve, in the sands of Halutza on the Israel-Egypt border".[11] The Joint Council of Pre-Military Academies describes "The Otzem Pre-military Torah Academy in Naveh, which was uprooted from Atzmona".[10] The accounts do not say what the grant paid for.[1]
Grants (hesder yeshiva). Tamid gave £3,400 to Yeshivat HaKotel in 2016/17 (PDF p.11)[8] and £1,600 in 2017/18 (PDF p.11).[9] Yeshivat HaKotel is a hesder yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem, in occupied East Jerusalem.[12][13] Its UK friends-of charity is British Friends of Yeshivat Hakotel. See Hesder Yeshivot: hesder yeshivot combine Torah study with service in the Israel Defense Forces.
Prior scrutiny. No Charity Commission inquiry or Official Warning, and no complaint or report by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, the Islamic Human Rights Commission or Declassified UK, concerning this charity's support for soldiers was found (checked October 2026).
Activity beyond the Green Line
Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.
| Finding | Confidence |
|---|---|
| "Atzmona/Otzem" (£1,000): by name, the Otzem pre-military academy, which the sources describe as uprooted from Atzmona in Gush Katif and now in Naveh, "on the Egyptian border". Neither source states which side of the 1949 line either site lies on.[11][10] | Low (identification by name only) |
| Midreshet Harova (£1,000): a Wikimedia Commons photograph description places a building of that name on Habad Street, "Old Jerusalem"; the accounts give no location.[14][1] | Low (location from a photograph description only) |
| Yeshivat HaKotel (£3,400 in 2016/17, £1,600 in 2017/18): a hesder yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem, in occupied East Jerusalem.[12][13] | High (location of the yeshiva) |
Controversies and regulatory action
- No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[15] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[16][17][18][19] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[20]
- Trustee records differ. The accounts name D Goldberg, I Weinstein and U Goldberg as trustees, while the register lists Ilan Weinstein, Binyamin Tatz and Yitsy David; the accounts' own related-party note says "Mr Binyamin Tatz is a trustee of Tamid".[1][3]
- Loan from a trustee. The related-party note records an interest-free loan of £4,000 from Binyamin Tatz outstanding at the year end, and a donation of £1,600 from him.[1]
- Income figures differ. The accounts give donations of £27,231 as the year's income; the register records latest income of £31,231 for the same year.[1][3]
- Examiner's heading. The independent examiner's statement is headed "Independent examiner's statement - matter of concern identified", but its text reports no matter of concern.[1]
