What’s the importance of the upcoming World Zionist Congress election?

Every five years, the World Zionist Congress holds an election that determines which Jewish organizations share access to over one billion dollars in funding. This funding can create a thriving Jewish future. If it ends up in the right hands. Every American has the chance to vote once to support a slate – or cause – that they believe in. We, Am Yisrael Chai, believe that young Jewish leaders need this funding.

Why do young Jewish leaders need your vote?

The aftermath of October 7, across campuses and in communities, could have shattered the strongest of us. But instead, it sparked pride and resilience, as young Jews chose to advocate for our people and shape a Jewish tomorrow we can only dream of today. These are the architects of tomorrow and they need your vote.

Since October 7

for you to believe in them.

What does Am Yisrael Chai stand for?

Am Yisrael Chai. It’s not a motto. It’s a mission. It’s not a catchphrase. It’s a commitment. It’s not an expression of hope.
It’s a demonstration of action. These aren’t just our beliefs, this is how we act.

Zionism and a love for Israel is a founding principle of Am Yisrael Chai as we believe that a thriving Jewish future is anchored in a deep appreciation for Zionism and a strong bond with the state of Israel. That’s why we support a series of impactful programs that nurture this connection.

No matter what struggles we face, the strength of a united community can get us through. That’s why our work goes beyond the scope of any single program, as we support the creation and sustainability of tight-knit networks, local organizations, and grassroots initiatives, to nurture spaces of belonging.

The timeless teachings of Judaism, passed down through the generations, allows us to connect with heritage while forging towards the future. That’s why we support carefully crafted programs where individuals can explore and connect to the depths of their Jewish identity.

THE JERUSALEM PROGRAM IS THE OFFICIAL PLATFORM OF THE WORLD ZIONIST ORGANIZATION AND THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT

Zionism, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, brought about the establishment of the State of Israel and views a Jewish, Zionist, democratic, and secure State of Israel to be the expression of the common responsibility of the Jewish people for its continuity and future.

I agree with the foundations of Zionism, which are:

  • The unity of the Jewish people, its bond to its historic homeland Eretz Yisrael, and the centrality of the State of Israel and Jerusalem, its capital, in the life of the nation.
  • Aliyah to Israel from all countries and the effective integration of all immigrants into Israeli society.
  • Strengthening Israel as a Jewish, Zionist, and democratic state and shaping it as an exemplary society with a unique moral and spiritual character, marked by mutual respect for the multi-faceted Jewish people, rooted in the vision of the prophets, striving for peace and contributing to the betterment of the world.
  • Ensuring the future and the distinctiveness of the Jewish people by furthering Jewish, Hebrew, and Zionist education, fostering spiritual and cultural values, and teaching Hebrew as the national language.
  • Nurturing mutual Jewish responsibility, defending the rights of Jews as individuals and as a nation, representing the national Zionist interests of the Jewish people, and struggling against all manifestations of anti-Semitism.
  • Settling the country as an expression of practical Zionism.
