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.
