Voting in the World Zionist Congress (WZC) election is now open, and it costs $5. No, this is not a scam!

 

Your synagogue has asked you to vote (and to support its movement’s slate). We’ve announced the election at the bottom of this email for the past several weeks. You’ve been receiving emails.

 

WZC is real. The website is real. The election is real. Your vote counts. You will be asked for your credit card. It’s all legitimate. Do it. The link is here.

 

The website has all the information that you need: eligibility requirements, deadlines, slate descriptions, the what, the how, and the why. Watch the video.

 

Excerpted from the website:

 

“Between March 10 and May 4, 2025, American Jews will vote for their delegates to the 39th World Zionist Congress, the “parliament of the Jewish people,” which will convene in Jerusalem in October 2025. Voting in the election is the most powerful opportunity to have your voice heard in Israel, make an impact in Jewish communities worldwide, and stand up for Zionism. The representatives who are elected—with one-third of them coming from the United States—will make key decisions on allocating over $1 billion annually to support the most pressing needs across Israeli society and the Diaspora.

 

The elected delegates include the 152 who fill American seats within the Congress. The larger the voter turnout is, the more the American Jewish voice is heard.”

 

To paraphrase a quote on reading, “a person who won’t vote has no advantage over the one who can’t vote.”
