He has a master's degree in political communication and a bachelor's degree in political science and sociology, both from Bar-Ilan University.[2] Shekalim ran in Likud primaries ahead of the 2022 Israeli legislative election, competing for the 38th spot on the party's list, reserved for residents of the Tel Aviv area. Shekalim defeated Dor Harlap,[3] a former advisor to Yoav Kisch.[4]
