For too long, outdated leadership has stalled progress while antisemitism surges, campuses turn hostile, and big ideas gather dust. Now, a coalition of Zionist activists, students, and influencers is rallying to change everything. With just 38 days left to vote in the World Zionist Congress (WZC) elections, Kol Israel is asking everyone to come forward and vote, because silence isn't an option anymore.
Who Is Kol Israel?
We’re the 20-somethings who refused to sit back after October 7, 2023, when our people and our country needed us most. While so-called leaders recycled old ideas, we saw the reality: Jewish students harassed on campuses, antisemitism thriving online, and a disconnect between American Jews and Israel growing wider. We are backed by powerhouses like StandWithUs, Young Judaea, and NJY Camps. Not only that, we’re a movement of doers—featuring delegates like comedian Elon Gold, influencer Montana Tucker, and activists Eyal Yakoby and Adela Cojab, and we're ready to rewrite the script.
What’s at Stake?
The WZC isn’t just another conference. Its importance cannot be overstated. In fact, it’s the only democratically elected global Jewish body, controlling the massive sum of $5 billion over five years. That’s $1 billion for KKL-JNF’s land and sustainability projects, $265 million for the Jewish Agency’s aliyah and community programs, and $85 million for the WZO’s Zionist education and advocacy. Every vote helps to determine how this money fights antisemitism, strengthens Israel ties, and empowers our generation. The election runs March 10–May 4, 2025, and every U.S. Jew 18+ can cast a ballot for just $5.
Kol Israel's Vision: Loud, Modern, Unstoppable
Kol Israel's slate is fighting to:
- Bridge the Gap: Launch youth programs and student exchanges to unite American Jews and Israel.
- Fight Back: Combat antisemitism on campuses, online, and in public spaces with real action.
- Shake Up Leadership: Replace stale decision-making with fresh, modern voices.
- Dream Big: Bring the Olympics to Israel by 2048, kickstart a Zionist Innovation Accelerator, and push for game-changing ideas.
The Clock Is Ticking
Over the next 42 days, Kol Israel is hosting 20 events nationwide, including rallies, campus takeovers, and virtual meetups, uniting thousands of young Jews as we fight to reclaim our future.
Why Now Matters More Than Ever
The Jewish world faces a reckoning. The WZC’s decisions will ripple for years, funding everything from rebuilding post-October 7 communities to countering global Jew-hatred. Kol Israel’s delegates, including artists, activists, and innovators, bring the energy and vision older generations lack. “We’ve seen who’s fighting and who’s staying silent,” says one organizer. “This is our time to lead.”

The Future Is Ours—If We Act
Silence got us nowhere. Apathy won’t stop the rise of antisemitism or heal the diaspora-Israel divide. “This isn’t just a cause; it’s a collective uprising,” says a Kol Israel spokesperson. “Every vote, every voice, every step forward counts.”
