Thank you, MERCAZ voters!
Thank you to everyone who voted for MERCAZ in the World Zionist Congress elections! Your participation helped create record-breaking turnout with over 230,000 American Jews voting—nearly doubling participation from 2020. This historic engagement powerfully demonstrates that Zionism is thriving among American Jews.
The results also reflect the strength of our Conservative movement. MERCAZ USA secured 28,000 votes, nearly doubling our 2020 total.
The Congress allocates nearly $1 billion annually to support Israeli and Jewish communities. Your vote helps direct these resources toward rebuilding communities affected by October 7th, strengthening Jewish education in our own synagogues and youth programs, and promoting the inclusive, pluralistic values our movement champions right here at home and in Israel.
Special thanks to our congregational representative, Liz Vincent, for spearheading our MERCAZ efforts!
