Voting is underway in an election that gives American Jews an opportunity to directly shape Israel’s future.
The U.S. election for seats in the 39th World Zionist Congress will help determine the balance of power in the legislative authority of a Zionist organization founded by Theodore Herzl 128 years ago.
Influence over $5 billion in funding for Jewish causes is at stake, as is authority over quasi-governmental institutions such as the Jewish Agency, which plays a central role in immigration to Israel, and the Jewish National Fund, which owns 13% of Israeli land. The election is seen as a referendum on the future of the country.
Any Jewish adult living in the United States can vote between now and May 4 as long as they accept a set of Zionist principles and pay a $5 registration fee. The entire process takes about two, maybe three minutes.
To vote, go to AZM.ORG.
