ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA

A MEMORABLE MILESTONE IN ISRAEL’S HISTORY

Merely a few days passed since the Jewish world and also the non-Jewish world celebrated the 125^th anniversary of the first Zionist Congress, the birth of modern Zionism.

The relevance of this monumental event must be viewed in the context of today’s situation in the land of Israel, the Jewish people’s return to their homeland after 2,000 years of exile, and the world view (weltanschauung) of Israel’s existence, and the Jewish people’s place on the world stage.

CELEBRATING AND/PARTICIPATING IN THE 125^TH ANNIVERSARY

COMMEMORATION OF THE FIRST JEWISH CONGRESS

First and Foremost we Salute ZOA’s National President Morton Klein

Mr. Klein and ZOA were honoured at the gala celebration in front of 1,200 guests, with an award for decades of outstanding years of efforts helping and defending Israel and the Jewish people..

What is little known by most, is the fact that ZOA known previously as "American Zionists", participated in the first Zionist Congress in 1897 delete dot in Basel..

Additionally, days earlier, Mr. Klein was awarded another great honour the “Herzl Aliyah” award – the very same given to Dr. Theodor Herzl at the Great Synagogue in Basel exactly 125 years ago, For the full coverage, read here.

Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
