Did you know that even though the Reform Movement is the largest Jewish movement in the US, Reform Jews are a minority in Israel? And that certain political and social forces in Israel intentionally seek to not only diminish Reform Jews’ ability to expand and worship, but to roll back or curtail rights for other religious and cultural minorities, LGBTQ+, women and more?
In 2025, you have a unique opportunity to help ensure Israel remains a free, democratic and pluralistic society for all Jews by voting in the World Zionist Congress elections.
Controlling an annual budget of over $1 billion, the World Zionist Congress, which represents Jewish communities from around the world, meets every five years to:
- Set policies that affect the status of Reform Jews in Israel and millions of Israelis
- Make decisions that influence hundreds of millions of dollars in spending
- Influence construction projects and therefore the choice between settlement expansion or a path to peace, and ensuring investment in communities destroyed on October 7th
