Billions of dollars. Generational decisions. The soul of our people.
Right now, you have the rare power to make a real impact on the future of Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisrael—by voting in the World Zionist Congress elections. This isn’t just another formality. It’s a direct opportunity for frum Yidden in the U.S. to shape how money is spent, which values are prioritized, and whether Torah values stand at the forefront of the Jewish future.
The institutions controlled by the World Zionist Congress influence our mosdos, education, youth programs, and where our soldiers and their families get support. Whether we live in Israel or not—we have a chelek in what happens there. And we have a achrayus to show up.
If we don’t vote, others will. And many of those “others” represent agendas that stand in direct opposition to Shleimus haTorah and shleimus ha’am. We are up against factions that use this platform to promote funding for causes that do not reflect Torah values—and in some cases, openly fight against them. If they gain more control, our mosdos lose critical support, and the values we hold sacred aren’t just ignored—they’re actively challenged.
A Call for Unity: Gestetner Endorses Davidi Ben Zion and Slate #8
In a powerful show of unity and purpose, Shlomo Gestetner, Co-Director of the Mayanot Institute, publicly endorsed Davidi Ben Zion, head of the Achdut Yisrael party in the World Zionist Congress elections. In a widely shared video, Gestetner introduces Ben Zion warmly, stating, “It’s my honor to introduce Davidi Ben Zion, the head of the Achdut Yisrael party in the World Zionist Congress elections.”
He urges the community to rally behind Achdut Yisrael, a party defined by its unwavering commitment to shleimus ha’aretz, Jewish unity, support for soldiers and war orphans, and the strengthening of mosdos and youth initiatives across the world.
Ben Zion echoes this call with clarity: “We need your support now. Together, we can make a huge difference for Am Yisrael. Right now, vote Slate #8.”
Why This Matters to You—as a Frum Yid Living in the U.S.
This may not be the Israeli elections—but in many ways, it’s even more important.
This is the American election for Eretz Yisrael.
It’s a rare opportunity for Yidden in the Diaspora to fulfill our achrayus and have a real say in how the future of Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisrael is shaped.
The World Zionist Congress directs billions of dollars and influences powerful institutions that impact our mosdos—and l’havdil, institutions not rooted in kedusha.
This is our chance to stand up for Mi Hu Yehudi al pi halacha, to support the Torah, protect our soldiers, and make sure not one inch of Eretz HaKodesh is given away.
As Moshe Pinson a community activist put it:
“This is about shleimus haTorah, shleimus ha’Am, and shleimus ha’Aretz.
By voting Achdut Yisrael – Slate #8, we’re using the tools available to us to strengthen kedushah, achdus, and the future of the Jewish nation.
What Is the World Zionist Congress—and Why Does It Matter?
The World Zionist Organization (WZO) oversees three powerful institutions:
– KKL/JNF (Keren Kayemeth LeYisrael)
– The Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI)
– Keren Hayesod (United Israel Appeal)
Together, they manage land, allocate funds, shape Jewish identity, and influence decisions in Israel and around the globe. These institutions impact where billions of Jewish dollars go—and which values they support.
