Dear ZOA Friends and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Today, I have some exciting news to share that reflects the unwavering commitment of one of our own – ZOA President Mort Klein.

We are thrilled to announce that Mort has become the 25,000th signatory of the Jewish Future Pledge, a groundbreaking global initiative promoting intergenerational conversations around Jewish values, traditions, and philanthropy. It is a 100% non-binding commitment to earmark half of the amount allocated to charity in your will to Jewish causes and/or the State of Israel. The Pledge is about ensuring that the Jewish people and our heritage continue to thrive for generations to come.

Mort's personal connection to the cause is profound, having been born in a displaced persons camp in Germany to Holocaust survivors. He understands the importance of a resilient Jewish identity and the State of Israel like few others.

No one I know fights harder for the well-being and security of the Jewish people and the State of Israel than Mort Klein. He is an outspoken advocate for Israel's security and an unwavering defender against antisemitism and anti-Zionism.

As a board member of ZOA and proud supporter of our Jewish community, I invite you to join Mort and our community of 25,000-plus individuals who have already taken the pledge. By joining the movement, you send a powerful message to your friends, family, and the world about the enduring strength of the Jewish community.

Let’s work toward a vibrant and thriving Jewish future.

L’Shalom,

Mike Leven,

Founder, The Jewish Future Pledge
