The Yachin Center, a national strategic research institute, has drafted a comprehensive 60-page document outlining recommendations for the next government's coalition agreements. The proposal covers significant changes in education, law, security, governance, and Jewish identity.
The center, which has been involved in educational reforms and legislative initiatives, aims to embed its recommendations into the foundational principles and coalition deals of the incoming administration. The plan includes legislative amendments, government decisions, procedural changes, and implementation timelines.
In education, Yachin proposes establishing a new humanities committee to replace existing ones and redefine the profile of graduates. It also calls for a four-to-five-year freeze on the "flexible matriculation" program, an evaluation of past reforms, and adjustments to the oversight of curricula and textbooks. The center previously supported Minister Yoav Kisch's "Roots" reform, which aimed to bolster Jewish and Zionist identity in education.
Beyond education, the Yachin Center has been active in the parliamentary arena. It provided professional support for the arbitration law in religious courts, approved in March 2026, and submitted a position paper on child support in rabbinical courts, approved in November 2025. Its researchers also assisted MK Galit Distel-Atbaryan in drafting a bill to protect expressions of Judaism in public spaces.
The new booklet consolidates these activities into practical proposals, setting clear goals for the next government. Additional recommendations include altering the "Spirit of the IDF," limiting the Supreme Court's involvement in security matters, amending the Law of Return, and expanding Jewish identity studies in schools.
