Zionist productivization ideology aimed to replace reliance on halukah charity with earned labor.

Evidence

The leading concept as proclaimed by the founding committee of the “Bezalel Society for Establishing Jewish Cottage-industries and Crafts in Palestine” in its program, printed in Berlin in 1904, was the productivization of the Jews in Palestine as the basis for social regeneration. With the slogan “No charity but work!” the founders of Bezalel aimed at providing their poor brethren in Jerusalem with the means to earn an honest living and break the hold of the halukah (distribution of charity). — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 591
