Between March 10 and May 4, 2025, American Jews will vote for their delegates to the 39th World Zionist Congress, the “parliament of the Jewish people,” which will convene in Jerusalem in October 2025. Voting in the election is the most powerful opportunity to have your voice heard in Israel, make an impact in Jewish communities worldwide, and stand up for Zionism. The representatives who are elected — with one-third of them coming from the United States — will make key decisions on allocating over $1 billion annually to support the most pressing needs across Israeli society and the Diaspora.

KEY PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

Herut North America is committed to actively standing against antisemitism in all its forms. Through education, advocacy, and strategic partnerships, Herut works to ensure that Jewish communities are safe, respected, and resilient and provides resources, raises awareness, and empowers individuals to confront and challenge antisemitism wherever it arises. This approach reinforces the security, unity, and dignity of the Jewish people. As Israel and global Jewry have learned that Israel and Am Yisrael often stand alone in the world, Herut’s objectives include initiatives to address Jew hatred from college campuses all the way to the United Nations.

Herut proudly stands in unwavering support of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and broader Jewish security worldwide. The organization provides practical assistance through initiatives such as free security handbooks and Krav Maga training, empowering Jewish community members to protect themselves and their loved ones. Herut places a special emphasis on supporting IDF lone soldiers—those serving without immediate family in Israel. We demonstrate gratitude for their sacrifices through fundraising efforts, care packages, and advocacy, underscoring Herut’s commitment to the well-being and safety of all Jews and to those who protect the Jewish people.

As Ze'ev Jabotinsky eloquently put it, "Hebrew is the most wonderful of languages, a language of a thousand antonyms, hard and strong as steel, while soft and gleaming as gold." This sentiment aligns with Herut's commitment to Hebrew, embracing it as not only a mother tongue but also "the language of our nation" “םע תפש םג אלא םא תפש קר אל איה תירבעה הפשה”

Hebrew is the common denominator that connects and unites all Jews around the world. Through Hebrew education, Herut fosters a resilient connection to Jewish heritage that supports both cultural and national pride.

Recognizing the vital role of women within the organization and beyond, Herut North America actively supports female leadership, ensuring that women’s voices are heard and their contributions valued. Herut’s emphasis on women’s empowerment aligns with its broader mission of building a strong, inclusive community.

Herut North America aids Jews wishing to make Aliyah by offering pro bono support through bureaucratic processes. This support helps Jews settle and integrate into Israeli society, reflecting Herut’s commitment to strengthening the Jewish homeland and assisting those who wish to contribute to it directly.

Herut North America and World Herut extend our educational outreach to Jewish communities that may feel isolated, connecting them with the broader Jewish world. This outreach is essential to maintaining a vibrant, interconnected Jewish community, ensuring that every Jewish voice is heard, valued and protected. Herut also emphasizes the importance of Zionist education and Israel’s rights, countering anti-Israel propaganda with informed perspectives that underscore the historical, legal, and moral foundations of the Jewish homeland.
