World Zionist Congress 2025: Voting is Open!

The World Zionist Congress is the democratically elected international body that convenes every five years and is a way for Diaspora Jews like you to have a voice in Israel and stand up for pluralism, equality, security, and a path to peace. The 2025 WZC elections are open through May 4, vote here.

Voting will help ensure that Israel reflects our Reform Jewish values and is a place where our children and grandchildren will always be safe and welcome. The Reform Jewish representatives in the WZC help promote our values on issues that affect all of us.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Our opponents in the WZC campaign are highly motivated religious fundamentalists whose vision for the future of Israel is diametrically opposed to ours. They are organizing to destroy what we value, including:

  • Chipping away at Israel’s democracy
  • Rolling back gains for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and religious pluralism
  • Stripping our Israeli Reform clergy – especially our women rabbis – and our Reform communities of their rights, funding, and infrastructure
  • Making sure that our converts and children are not welcome in the Jewish state
  • Expanding settlements and blocking any hope of Palestinian self-determination and safety
  • Writing Reform Jews out of the next chapter of Jewish history
  • Making Jews in Israel and around the world less safe
