How we intend to do it
Strategy
A platform is a list of intentions. This page is the method — where the thinking comes from, and the machinery we are actually building.
The diaspora strategy
The Vilna Gaon taught an order to redemption in which the ten tribes are gathered before Judah — the lost before the found, the scattered before the settled. We take that order seriously as strategy, not only as theology. There are communities across the world who have held an Israelite identity for centuries without anyone in Jerusalem asking how they are. They have no voice in the Jewish future and no seat in any Israeli conversation. We intend to give them both.
The vehicle already exists. iTribe is a digitally distributed State of Israel — a civic layer that lets a person anywhere in the world be counted, be heard, and vote in the deliberations of a people they already belong to. It has been built and it is running.
Digital citizenship — a proposal, not an offer
We propose that the distributed State of Israel issue a digital citizenship that does not ask you to convert and does not ask you to prove a bloodline — the same principle that governs the healing planks of this platform. You would be counted because you are a person who belongs, not because a committee certified you. Read the next sentence carefully: this is a proposal on a party platform and nothing is being issued by anyone today. It would require us to win seats, and then it would have to be voted through by the people and their representatives. No candidate can grant it. Harry Rozenberg cannot hand you citizenship of anything, has nothing to hand out, and does not claim otherwise.
Read this before anyone offers you digital citizenship
Digital citizenship is not legal citizenship. It is not issued by the State of Israel. It confers no right of return, no aliyah, no immigration status, no visa, no passport, no residency, and no legal right of any kind. It will not let you enter Israel, remain in Israel, work in Israel, or claim anything from the Israeli government. It is civic membership in a distributed community: a voice, a vote in our own deliberations, and a place in the count. We state this plainly because communities who have waited generations for recognition are exactly the people a fraudster targets. If anyone asks you to pay for Israeli citizenship or implies this grants legal status, they are defrauding you, and it is not us.
Water and power, not sympathy
Recognition that arrives as a certificate and nothing else is an insult. Many of these communities live without reliable water or electricity while we argue about their ancestry. The same build-out this platform commits to inside Israel — field and rooftop solar, water systems, greenhouses and aquaponics — we commit to for them, starting with the communities already connected to us. Power and water first. The theology can be debated for another three hundred years; a pump cannot wait that long.
Trippy.vc — a DAO, not a fund
Harry Rozenberg is a co-founder of Trippy.vc. It is not a conventional for-profit venture fund with a general partner deciding where the money goes: it is governed on-chain as a DAO, by its members. Its holdings include an investment in PsyRx, the Israeli company developing an ibogaine-based treatment that trades on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Rather than holding land personally, he has contributed land into the DAO, so that what he brought is owned collectively by the people who govern it and not by him.
We mention this because it is a declared interest of a candidate on this list, and a voter is entitled to know what he is involved in before voting for him. It is disclosure, not promotion.
Nothing on this website is an offer
This site does not offer, sell or solicit any security, token, NFT, share, investment or interest in any company, fund, DAO or parcel of land, and nothing on it is investment advice or a prediction of any value. If you want to know about Trippy.vc, go to Trippy.vc. A political campaign website is not the place to raise money for anything other than the campaign, and not from anyone the law does not allow.
Older than Zionism
Our political tradition is not a reaction to Zionism and does not require anyone's permission from it. The students of the Vilna Gaon were on this land, governing themselves as a people, before political Zionism existed and before the first modern settlers of Jerusalem arrived — and they lived at peace with their neighbours. Rabbi Tzvi Yoel (Harry) Rozenberg presents himself as a descendant of the Gaon. That is a claim of tradition, and we put it on the page as a claim of tradition, not as a credential.
Read the thinking yourself
We would rather you read the sources than take our word for the summary.

A personal manifesto — how one of us thinks and operates, at length and in his own words. Read it if you want to know who you are voting for rather than what he is promising.
