Jabotinsky Institute in Israel

The Jabotinsky Institute in Israel (מכון ז'בוטינסקי) is an Israeli public organization headquartered in Tel Aviv. It serves as the principal archive, museum, and educational center devoted to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, and to the broader history of the Revisionist movement and its successor institutions. According to Russian-language reference material, the institute was founded more than seventy years ago by Dr. Yosef Paamoni. Formally it is a public organization unaffiliated with any political party, though it is widely described as close to the right-wing Likud party. Its director has been Yossi Ahimeir, a former Knesset member and son of the journalist and underground figure Abba Ahimeir. The institute holds one of the most complete collections of documents relating to Jabotinsky's life, work, and legacy. Its holdings number approximately one million documents, including some seven thousand letters written by Jabotinsky. A substantial portion of the material is accessible through the institute's website, which offers both simple and advanced search interfaces, a catalog of files, and a document basket for ordering personal files. Beyond the archive, the institute functions as a teaching and research center: it organizes tours, seminars, and lecture evenings, and it publishes Jabotinsky's own writings in several languages, including Russian, as well as books about him. The Jabotinsky Museum is part of the institute. The institute's public programming includes the museum and adjacent lecture hall, hosting lectures, study evenings, ceremonies, and films. During the COVID-19 period it launched the "Z'bo ba'Reshet" (Jabotinsky online) project, which has delivered more than one hundred Zoom lectures. The institute also operates an online shop and maintains a presence on YouTube, Facebook, and a blog. Its archival collections include posters, flags — notably the story of the Beitar flag — and materials on subjects such as Tel Aviv Beitar, Passover in the archive, football, and the 1929 Palestine riots. The website is available in Hebrew and English.

The Jabotinsky Institute in Israel was founded more than seventy years ago by Dr. Yosef Paamoni, according to Russian-language reference material. It was established as a public organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, and the history of the movement he led. Formally unaffiliated with any political party, the institute has nonetheless been described as close to the right-wing Likud party, which grew out of the Revisionist tradition. Over the decades the institute assembled one of the most complete collections of documents related to Jabotinsky's life, work, and legacy. Its holdings grew to approximately one million documents, including some seven thousand letters written by Jabotinsky himself. The institute also became a teaching and pedagogical center, organizing tours, seminars, and lectures, and it began publishing Jabotinsky's writings in several languages, including Russian, as well as books about him. The Jabotinsky Museum became part of the institute. In the digital era the institute placed a significant portion of its materials online, offering simple and advanced search tools, a catalog of files, and a document basket for ordering personal files.
