The Zionist Leadership Academy (ZLA) – Tzevet Tikva (Hope) – celebrated the graduation of its fourth cohort in Israel this September. Over ten days, 19 leaders from across the globe came together to connect, learn, and act. They met inspiring figures, witnessed the resilience of Israeli communities, explored cutting-edge research and defense innovation, gained unique insights into Israel’s security challenges, and volunteered to strengthen society and the environment.
What began in January as strangers ended as a strong, united international family, deeply committed to the Jewish People and the State of Israel. As the summit concluded near Rosh Hashanah, one word echoed above all: Hope – תקווה.
Hope for comfort and closure for the families of the hostages who have not yet been returned to Israel for proper burial.
Hope for the safety of IDF soldiers on the frontlines.
