Shaping our global Zionist voice

Community
Written By Laura Chambers

Australia’s Jewish community saw its most robust electoral involvement in World Zionist Congress history, sending 6,702 valid votes to choose its 13 delegates. A new ultra‑Orthodox slate, Eretz Hakodesh, secured two mandates, prompting the first direct vote in over 15 years and signaling a shift in representation. ARZA‑Masorti (non‑Orthodox) and Mizrachi (mainstream Orthodox) both earned four mandates; Hatikvah (left‑leaning) won two, and Likud held one. Observers note this reflects a notable change in ideological balance among Australian Jewry. The vote is seen by many as a vibrant expression of continued attachment to the global Zionist endeavor.
