Am Shalem (Hebrew: עם שלם, "Whole Nation") was a political party in Israel.
History
The party was established on 14 April 2011 by Knesset member Haim Amsalem, five months after he was expelled from Shas, and took its name from the Hebrew translation of his surname. Shortly after its formation, the party announced that it would launch "Operation Ten Thousand", to get 10,000 new members to join the movement. It is chaired by Moshe Tzafarti.
Receiving 1.3% of the vote, the party failed to pass the electoral threshold in the 2013 Knesset elections, resulting in Amsalem losing his seat.
