I'm running for MERCAZ USA (Slate 17) in the World Zionist Congress elections! MERCAZ USA is the proud voice of Conservative/Masorti Judaism, advocating for our values and our programs. I joined the MERCAZ USA slate because I want to ensure that the next generation of Jewish youth is entitled to the same pluralistic vision of Zionism that I am. I'm asking for YOUR VOTE TODAY for Slate 17 at votemercazusa.org and to encourage your friends and family to do the same. Together, we will ensure our place in the Jewish and Zionist future. Any U.S. resident who is Jewish, over 18, and didn't vote in the last Knesset elections can have a vote and a voice! Or, for our brothers and sisters from the Reform Tradition, go here: https://lnkd.in/gWuNtMhQ to vote for the URJ-ARZA Slate (Number 3). Thank you.
