Parties, polls, processes: detailed election guide

If you are hungry for more after reading The Jewish Independent’s analysis of Israel's upcoming election, we recommend Israel Votes 2026.

This American site contains information about the many parties in Israel’s election, follows the polls and even allows you to put together your own coalition.

The site is a personal project of Rabbi Daniel Bogard, who says he made it to help American readers understand Israel’s election on its own terms.

“The questions shaping Israeli voters’ choices often differ from those driving our conversations here. I want us to see those differences clearly, including whose lives are affected and who has no vote,” he explains.

The site also contains teaching resources including coalition scenarios for discussion, interactives, slide decks and printable student sheets.

Here's a sample of what you can find there:
