In partnership with Jewish National Fund-USA, The Jerusalem Post will once again honor 25 young people who have stood up for Israel over the past year through its “Top 25 Young ViZIONnaries” awards.
Nominations can be submitted until Sunday, Sept. 8, at 11:59 U.S. Eastern time, and are open to Zionists (including Jews and those beyond the Jewish faith) from around the world who are under age 45.
Nominees will be judged on how they inspired others to stand up for the land and people of Israel, publicly celebrated their Zionism, and the initiatives they supported or created to help Israel during this year of unprecedented challenges where the stakes have never been higher.
“This year, young Zionists everywhere realized that we can’t wait for others to stand up and defend our homeland,” said Ian Sachs, the national chair of JNFuture. “Our future is entirely in our hands, and as representatives of our community’s next generation of leaders, we hold the key to our people’s future.”
Winners of last year’s Top 25 Young ViZIONaries included Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.); South African Zionist activist Olga Meshoe Washington; Yonatan Weintraub, co-founder of Space IL; digital activist Hallel Silverman; and Rabbi Erez Sherman of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.
“The Jerusalem Post is excited to honor and highlight young Zionist changemakers,” said the paper’s editor-in-chief, Zvika Klein. “Our paper has a proud tradition of providing a platform for individuals who positively impact the future of the land and people of Israel. While we have many challenges ahead of us, our community should feel confident that we have a new generation of Zionist changemakers who are more passionate and engaged than ever.”
