WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS ELECTIONS

The 2025 World Zionist Congress elections are a few, short months away and it’s time to get ready to vote for the MERCAZ USA slate. It’s critical that we don’t let extremist voices limit the voice of the conservative movement.

The World Zionist Congress and its affiliates provide millions of dollars in funding and support the programs that enrich our community and Jewish life in the U.S. Voting for MERCAZ USA is an investment in the future of the Jewish institutions at the heart of our community. This funding includes Israel education at Ramah summer camps and critical philanthropy objectives supporting hostage families, the global diaspora, and more.

Commit to voting by visiting mercazusa.org/votemercaz2025 and filling out the form, and encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to do the same! Together, we can realize the Zionist vision of a safe, secure, Jewish, and democratic Israel that serves as a home for every Jew.
