Every Jew in the United States aged 18 and over is eligible to vote in the elections for the 34th World Zionist Congress to be held in Jerusalem in June 2002. In order to participate in these elections you must register to vote https://vote.election.com/azm-registration by

January 18, 2002.



The Zionist Congress convenes once every five years in Israel to set the policies of the World Zionist Organization, an institution that works to 1) preserve and enrich Jewish live around the world, 2) strengthen and support Jewish and Zionist education, 3) promote aliyah, and 4) rescue Jews from distressed countries.



In the last election the Reform and Conservative Zionist organizations received over 75% of the vote from the United States. As a result their budgets in Israel doubled at the expenses of funding that was traditionally channeled to religious Zionist institutions in Israel and the Diaspora, including Hesder Yeshivas, the Torah MiTzion Diaspora Zionist Kollelim, Bnei Akiva, NCSY, Yeshiva University\'s Joint Program, and Orthodox schools and educational programs worldwide.



The Religious Zionist Movement (www.religiouszionism.org) calls upon its constituents to register to vote on-line at https://vote.election.com/azm-registration or print out a registration form to mail at http://www.azm.org/election/AZMregform.pdf
