Education and Culture in Tel Aviv Yafo

What Education and Culture in Tel Aviv Yafo does

Education and Culture in Tel Aviv Yafo (Mosdot / חברת מוסדות) is a non-profit municipal service company (chalatz / חל"צ) established in the 1970s to deliver community, cultural, sports, and welfare services on behalf of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the Jewish Agency for Israel. It operates more than 400 centers across the city and coordinates a workforce of roughly 3,500, with headquarters staff of about 18. The organization functions as the operational arm of the municipality for grassroots public services and cultural programming, including the historic Arab-Jewish Community Center established in 1993 for inter-cultural programming.

The underlying technology stack is conventional enterprise software rather than proprietary platforms: Priority ERP for back-office operations, Synel for attendance tracking, and Hilan for payroll. Operational scale is substantial — 300 million ILS in annual procurement, 42,000 pay slips, 40,000 invoices processed, and 180 active construction and renovation projects per year. Following the appointment of Eran Aharoni as CEO in September 2024, the company has pursued a digitization push, including a digital employee portal and an integrated operations platform intended to consolidate workflow across the center network.

The business model is that of a designated municipal service company: revenue flows from Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality budget allocations rather than market-priced commercial contracts. There is no external sales motion; the customer base is effectively a single institutional counterparty. Pricing is administratively determined, and the company's franchise is protected by its statutory mandate. As a chalatz, it does not pursue profit maximization but rather cost recovery and service delivery within the scope agreed with the municipality and its parent oversight body.
