Tamid is a charitable trust constituted by a deed of trust of 3 August 2009 (varied 6 November 2009 according to the register) and registered on 8 December 2009.[1][2] Its register postcode is in Prestwich, Manchester M25, while the accounts give a principal office in St John Street, London EC1V; its areas of operation are London, Bury, Manchester, Salford and Israel.[3][1] Its objective is "to advance education in the Jewish faith in England by providing grants and assistance with basic living costs to people in need to allow them to undertake relevant Academic study."[1] The register lists Ilan Weinstein, Binyamin Tatz and Yitsy David (the latter two from 3 July 2023); the accounts for the year to 5 April 2025 name the trustees as D Goldberg, I Weinstein and U Goldberg.[3][1] In that year donations were £27,231 (2024: £20,879) and spending £37,026 (2024: £12,311), of which grants were £36,216 – £12,416 to institutions and £23,800 to individuals as "Grants for education" – and support costs £810; the fund ended £283 overdrawn (2024: £9,512 in surplus), which the accounts attribute to a year-end accrual.[1] The accounts were examined by D Schwarz FCCA of Haffner Hoff and signed by I Weinstein on 3 February 2026.[1]

Funding in Israel

Entrance to Midreshet Harova on Habad Street, Jerusalem (2012). Tamid's accounts record a £1,000 grant to Midreshet Harova in 2024/25
  • 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" see the IDF paragraph below.[1]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
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.[10][11] 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.[12][1] Low (location from a photograph description only)

Support for the IDF: The accounts list a grant of £1,000 to "Atzmona/Otzem" in 2024/25, without describing the recipient.[1] The name matches the Otzem pre-military academy (mechina). 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".[10] The Joint Council of Pre-Military Academies describes "The Otzem Pre-military Torah Academy in Naveh, which was uprooted from Atzmona".[11] The identification rests on the name only; the accounts do not say what the grant paid for.[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][11] Pre-military academies (mechinot) combine religious or leadership study with preparation for 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).

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;[13] 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.[14][15][16][17] 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.[18]
  • 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]
