The Religious Zionists of America (RZA), established in 1913, is one of the oldest and most influential Zionist organizations in the United States. It helped create pioneering Jewish communities in the Land of Israel, campaigned for the establishment of Israel, and has inspired numerous American Zionists to make aliyah. Today the RZA is on the front lines of pro-Israel activism and religious Zionist education.
