VOTE MERCAZ CANADA!
Guest Contributer: Marilyn Cohen
The 2025 World Zionist Congress elections have finally been confirmed by the Canadian Zionist Federation (CZF). As Conservative Jews in Canada, it is crucial that we support MERCAZ-Canada in the upcoming election, which will be held between June 5 – 15, 2025. More details on how to vote will be forthcoming in future Chai Lines or Women’s Leagues newsletters or from your own synagogues.
It is critical that MERCAZ-Canada gets as many votes as possible to send as many delegates as we can to the World Zionist Congress which will be held in October. The World Zionist Congress, together with its affiliates KKL/JNF (Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund) and Keren Hayesod, provide millions of dollars in funding and support for programs that enrich our communities in Canada, Israel and in Jewish communities around the world. The funding includes Israel education through Shlichim and Shinshinim at Ramah summer camps, Israel programming in our congregations, critical help to Jewish communities in jeopardy around the World, especially those in the Ukraine, financial support to our Masorti institutions in Israel such as the Schechter Institute, Fuchsberg Center and TALI schools which teach tens of thousands of Israeli children Judaism through a pluralistic lens.
Together with all the MERCAZ delegations from around the world, our voices can influence others that a centrist, pluralistic Zionism offers the most inclusive and sustainable vision for Israel’s future.
Please commit to supporting MERCAZ-Canada and encourage your extended family and friends to do the same. Together, we can realize the Zionist vision of a safe, secure, Jewish, and democratic Israel that serves as a home for every Jew.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
