What’s at Stake for YOU this election?
Every five years, American Jews are given a rare opportunity to shape the future of the Jewish people in a concrete, powerful way.
That opportunity is happening right now, in the 2025 World Zionist Congress (WZC) elections—a global election that will decide how over $5 billion in funding is allocated throughout the Jewish world.
This money affects everything from yeshivos and Jewish education, to aliyah and security, to settlements and Jewish identity.
And that’s why Achdut Yisrael – Slate #8 was created: to ensure these massive resources are directed toward Torah, unity, and a strong Jewish future.
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 Jewish dollars go—and which values they support.
Where does the money come from?
- Land Sales:
KKL/JNF owns massive portions of Israel’s land. In 2022–2023 alone, they generated nearly NIS 15 billion from land sales. - Legacy Investments:
These bodies still hold shares in banks, real estate, and infrastructure. That means consistent, long-term income—decades after the investments were first made. - Global Fundraising:
With deep donor networks across the U.S. and Europe, the National Institutions raise millions annually from Jews worldwide. - Government Funding:
Thanks to a 1952 Israeli law, the WZO and its partners can receive funds directly from the government, bypassing typical bureaucracy.
These four streams make up one of the most powerful financial ecosystems in the Jewish world. And those who win the WZC elections determine where the money goes.
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 Yidishkeit of Eretz Yisrael is shaped.
The World Zionist Congress directs billions of dollars and influences powerful institutions that impact aliyah, chinuch, security, Jewish identity, and the spiritual direction of Am Yisrael. These decisions matter—not just in Israel, but around the entire Jewish world.
Eretz Yisrael is a gift from the Hashem to every single Yid. Whether we live there or not, we have a cheilek—and a responsibility—to make sure it’s protected, respected, and led al pi Torah.
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.
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.
A Critical Shift Is Happening
For many years, the direction of the WZO was led by parties that did not share Torah values. That meant funding went to causes that often opposed our views on education, identity, and Israel itself.
But in the last WZC election, something changed. For the first time in years, the momentum shifted—and voices aligned with Torah and tradition gained serious ground.
This year’s election is even tighter.
In this moment, every vote isn’t just helpful—it’s essential to maintaining our voice and our influence.
Introducing Achdut Yisrael – Slate #8
Achdut Yisrael was formed to protect and strengthen that growing voice. It’s a movement built around one clear mission: to ensure Jewish funds and institutions reflect Jewish values.
By voting for Achdut Yisrael – Slate #8, you help ensure that these resources support:
- Strengthening Torah Education: Direct critical funds to yeshivos, day schools, and programs grounded in Torah.
- Supporting Soldiers and Their Families: Ensure our defenders are cared for and honored—on and off the battlefield.
- Protecting Jewish Communities: Build security infrastructure and support at-risk Jewish communities worldwide.
- Defending Eretz Yisrael: Advocate for Jewish growth in every part of our land—Yehuda, Shomron, and beyond.
- Upholding Jewish Identity: Push back against efforts to redefine Mi Hu Yehudi. Protect halachic standards in Jewish institutions.
This isn’t symbolic. This is real.
Leading the Slate: Davidi Ben Zion
At the head of Achdut Yisrael is Davidi Ben Zion, a leader known for turning ideals into action.
Raised in Elon Moreh, Davidi has devoted his life to Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael, and Toras Yisrael. A former IDF combat soldier and now Deputy Head of the Shomron Regional Council, Davidi has helped build real infrastructure, strengthen security, and support thriving Jewish life across Yehuda and Shomron.
When war broke out on October 7, 2023, Davidi returned to active duty. For 250 consecutive days, he served on the front lines—from Kfar Aza to Khan Yunis—delivering gear, helping grieving families, and fighting for Israel’s safety and future.
Davidi has spent his life defending the Jewish people. Now he’s stepping up to defend our voice in the institutions that shape the Jewish world.
“This Is About Shleimus HaTorah, Shleimus HaAm, and Shleimus HaAretz”
As Rabbi Moshe Pinson, a respected community leader and advocate, recently expressed:
“This isn’t just about money.
It’s about Shleimus HaTorah—Torah without compromise.
It’s about Shleimus HaAm—preserving Jewish identity through halacha.
And it’s about Shleimus HaAretz—standing proudly for every inch of our land.
That’s what this election is really about—not just dollars, but direction.”

Your Vote Matters — Silence Helps the Other Side
Not voting in the World Zionist Congress elections isn’t neutral. It’s a vote for the other side—for parties that have long used these billions to fight against Torah, redefine Jewish identity, and weaken our hold on Eretz Yisrael.
In the last election, we made real gains. But this year, the race is tight—and if we don’t show up, we risk losing our voice, our influence, and our values.
Every vote counts. Every vote protects. Every vote strengthens.
Vote Achdut Yisrael – Slate #8
Because if we don’t vote for our values—others will vote against them.
