About the Campaign
Israeli cities today are built tall, fast, and far from the human being. Towers instead of streets, highways instead of neighborhoods. But there is another way, and it is not foreign to us: it is written in our sources, built into our old cities, and proven in the best cities in the world.
Michya — The Institute for Hebrew Urbanism exists to return human-scale building to the center of Israeli discourse: research, education, and public activity for cities that are dense but humane, walkable, beautiful — and Israeli.
What we will do in Year One:
- 12 events across Israel — lectures, walking tours, and open public gatherings
- A professional video series — 20 videos bringing these ideas to hundreds of thousands of viewers
- Full-time operation — a full-time staff dedicating all their time to the mission
Campaign milestones:
- ₪75,000 — a full year of events, funded
- ₪150,000 — the video series launches
- ₪300,000 — Michya goes full-time
Full transparency: we publish where every shekel goes — before anyone asks. Our website hosts a public tracker of every expense: the events we held, the videos we produced, and the costs behind them.
Donations are tax-deductible in Israel (Section 46), the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and more.
