The State of Israel is the beating heart of the Jewish People, its existence realized through the efforts of the World Zionist Organization (WZO) founded by Theodor Herzl. 

Today, the WZO serves to connect Global Jewry to Israel through its World Zionist Congress (WZC), which empowers Jews from around the world to take an active role in shaping our collective destiny in Israel and around the world. Kol Israel serves as the unifying voice of Global Jewry in the WZO and at the Congress.

Kol Israel is an a-partisan, non-denominational faction bringing together Jews from all backgrounds and political ideologies: right wing and left wing, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Secular, Sephardic and Ashkenazic, to educate and engage our next generation of leaders and activists who carry the mantle of Jewish continuity forward. We believe Zionism should come with no hyphens or predispositions and wish to serve as a home to all Jews who wish to work for a better Israel and Jewish peoplehood without any political or religious framework.

Kol Israel believes that the Zionist Congress should be a global ingathering of Jewish multiculturalism representing the diverse make-up of Jewish life and culture, where delegates put aside their differences and come together around the Zionist ideal of ensuring Global Jewish continuity with Israel at its center. Israel’s remarkable story and wondrous achievements should be a source of unifying pride for the Jewish People, igniting joint enthusiasm and active participation in the greatest Jewish project in modern time.   

Therefore, Kol Israel believes in the primacy of Israel education among global Jewish youth and that the State of Israel needs the involvement of Global Jewry in public squares, institutions, and parliaments worldwide while also seeking to promote immigration to Israel from global communities worldwide. 

Kol Israel views the WZO’s departments of Diaspora Affairs, Education, Youth Movements and Future Leadership, and Aliyah advancement and its delegates involvement in the Zionist Congress as vital platforms and tools towards achieving our shared objectives. 

Kol Israel also seeks to bring Zionism to the 21st century by engaging diaspora Jewry with Israel in innovative ways using the latest technologies and new ideas.
