Your vote is your voice in Israel

The next elections to the World Zionist Congress are coming soon. Voting for MERCAZ is voting to help Israel heal and rebuild after October 7th, support Masorti/Conservative communities in Israel and worldwide, and promote democracy and pluralism in the Jewish state.

At this pivotal moment in Israel’s history, it’s critical that our voices as Diaspora Jews who care about Israel’s future are heard. The World Zionist Congress (WZC), founded by Herzl in 1897, is the only democratic body with representatives of all of world Jewry: all countries, all streams. Here, Diaspora Jews not only have a voice, but a vote!

Elections to the WZC – open to all Jews – are held online every five years. The results of these elections determine who controls the boards of the Jewish Agency, KKL/JNF, & Keren Hayesod, which together allocate billions every year. What these bodies do and how this money is spent depends on your vote!

Who We Are​

Would you give five minutes and five dollars to help keep Israel strong, safe, and democratic for years to come? 
Elections for the World Zionist Congress are coming. What’s at stake? Control over the Jewish Agency, KKL-JNF, and their billions of dollars, including tens of millions Masorti/Conservative synagogues, Ramah, USY, NOAM, and more rely on.
