Thank you for voting!
In spring 2025, we were collecting ballots for voting in the 2025 World Zionist Congress election, which occurs every five years. The results were just certified this week.
The elected delegates will convene for the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem from Oct. 28 to 30 and deliberate on how to spend more than $1 billion in annual funding directed through the World Zionist Organization, Jewish Agency for Israel, Jewish National Fund-KKL, and Keren Hayesod.
First convened by Theodor Herzl in 1897, the congress is expected to be marked by battles that center not only on financial allocations but also on competing visions of Jewish identity, religious authority, and the future of Israel itself.
The Reform movement’s Vote Reform slate remained the largest single faction, winning 47,648 votes and 33 delegates, a sharp increase in votes but still a modest decline from the 39 seats five years ago.
