In the late 19th century, Theodor Herzl didn’t just talk about a Jewish state—he built a movement and made it happen. The World Zionist Congress was born from that vision, ensuring the Jewish people would never be without a homeland.

Now, over a century later, we’re at a crossroads. The challenges are huge, but our mission is crystal clear: protect and secure Israel, our eternal homeland. The future of our children, our sovereignty, and our way of life is at risk. It’s time to step up, just like Herzl did, and light the way for Israel’s future.

As Israel’s 100th birthday in 2048 approaches, we’re on a mission to ensure Israel isn’t just strong, but unstoppable. We’re building a nation that leads, a beacon of light in a world that often prefers darkness. Inspired by the strength of our ancestors, we’re committed to shaping an Israel that stands tall—built on safety, strength, innovation, and resilience.

To make this happen, we’re assembling the sharpest minds in the Jewish community through a dedicated think tank. Led by those who are truly committed to Israel’s future, this initiative will secure Israel’s long-term security and prosperity as we approach its centennial and beyond.

While Jewish organizations around the world have done incredible work, real independence starts at home. Israel must be self-sufficient, not just in peacetime, but when things get tough. That’s why we’re committed to establishing a sovereign wealth fund—our safety net to ensure Israel’s economic independence and security. By building this financial strength, Israel will remain a nation that can defend itself and serve as a beacon to others.

In Herzl’s day, the fight was for recognition and a homeland. Today, the fight is against the relentless rise of global antisemitism. To win this battle, we’ve secured Israel.com as our frontline media platform. This isn’t just another media initiative—it’s our megaphone to spread the truth, dismantle misinformation, and champion the values that make Israel a beacon to the world.

This is more than just telling our story—it’s about making sure the world hears it and can’t ignore it. Together, we’ll amplify our message, defend the truth, and light the way for a future where Israel stands unwavering and proud.

Diplomacy and security are the bedrock of Israel’s future. While the Abraham Accords offer new hope, we need practical solutions like “The Emirates Plan,” which builds peace without compromising Israel’s sovereignty. Our mission is rooted in Israel’s safety and future, ensuring we continue living in a country where peace and strength coexist.

Zionism isn’t just a political movement—it’s a call to action. It’s about being a light in a world that often chooses darkness. We believe Zionism must be refreshed for the modern era—a movement that unites and drives everyone who believes in Israel’s promise. Together, we light the way, ensuring Israel remains a vibrant and secure homeland for generations to come.
