About Us

The World Zionist Organization in North America is dedicated to promoting Zionist values and strengthening the connection between Jewish communities in North America and Israel. It serves as a bridge between the various departments of the WZO in Israel, fostering collaboration and sharing resources across continents. The departments of the WZO actively promote and secure the future and uniqueness of the Jewish people by strengthening the Jewish identity and connection to Israel in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the principles of "The Jerusalem Program," the official platform of the World Zionist Organization and the Zionist movement.

The WZO offers various educational and cultural programs, leadership development opportunities, and advocacy initiatives. These efforts aim to reinforce Jewish identity, celebrate Jewish peoplehood, and deepen the connection to Israel while creating meaningful opportunities for community engagement and ensuring that Zionist values continue to thrive as a vibrant part of Jewish life.
