Vote Reform in World Zionist Congress Election
The World Zionist Congress (WZC), often called “The Parliament of the Jewish People,” is an institution central to the Jewish people's aspirations and identity. It was conceived before the establishment of Israel as a forum where all Jews could express their values.
Today, the WZC represents a platform for Diaspora Jews, including the Reform Jewish community, to engage in Israel’s actions and values. Through the World Zionist Congress, Reform voices aim to influence Israeli policy and budget decisions, advocating for democracy, pluralism, human rights and a path to peace.
The upcoming 2025 WZC election presents a pivotal opportunity for North American Reform Jews to exert their influence and shape the future of Israel. VOTE REFORM from March 10-May 4.
