For MERCAZ in 2025
My name is Lesley Harris. I am Currently a member of Valley Stream Jewish Center.
I represent the Valley Stream Jewish Center and Cong. Shaaray Shalom at MERCAZ USA.
MERCAZ USA is the United States branch of MERCAZ OLAMI, the Zionist organization of the Masorti (Conservative) Movement. MERCAZ represents Conservative Judaism within the World Zionist Organization and Congress, the Jewish Agency for Israel, the American Zionist Movement, and the Jewish National Fund. MERCAZ is the force that advocates for finding of pluralistic streams of Judaism in Israel through the World Zionist Organization (WZO) Congress, which is crucial to our movement’s growth in Israel and around the globe.
I am asking you to support MERCAZ USA by registering to vote for the election period between March 10,2025 to May 4, 2025.
Israel faces major challenges after October 7th, from rebuilding the south to healing a fractured society. However, allies of extremists like Ben Gvir and ultra-Orthodox extremists who helped drive Israelis apart and the country into the abyss in 2023, now want to redirect billions at the Zionist Congress’s disposal from urgent rebuilding projects to promoting their extreme political agenda, like money for Yeshivot that discourage army service and other controversial projects. Voting MERCAZ makes sure these funds are spent supporting those in Israel who need it most. Our representatives have already helped secure hundreds of millions through KKL/JNF to help Israelis rebuild with the WZO now responsible for managing the Israeli government’s official efforts to support our hostages and their families, MERCAZ’s representatives are working to make sure they receive the best possible care and support.
Looking forward to your support. Thank you.
