TO REPRESENT YOU AT THE WORLD
ZIONIST CONGRESS
In this time of crisis we must put our differences aside, stand together, and empower bold new Zionist ideas!
Kol Israel is a diverse slate of Jewish leaders and activists, bringing creativity, decisiveness, and proven records of success to the Zionist movement. We have put our political and religious differences aside, and come together for the good of all our people.
Voting in the elections for the 39th World Zionist Congress is your chance
to make a difference.
With your vote, Kol Israel will fight for the next 5 years to ensure $5 billion in Jewish community resources are used to address urgent priorities:
Strengthening bonds between Jews in United Kingdom and Israel by investing in stronger Zionist youth movements, summer camps, and student exchange programs in Israel.
Combatting antisemitism on college campuses, in K-12 education, online, and on the streets; playing both offense and defense through education, legal action, security, and self-defense.
Empowering diverse and younger Jewish voices that are under-represented in the Zionist movement.
Advance new and bold Zionist ideas, like bringing the Olympics to Israel in 2048. Create an Office of Zionist Innovation (OZI) with an Accelerator to provide mentorship, support and funding for bold new initiatives.
