I am on a party's ballot in this election.
Incoming thread on why it's an important election and why American Jews who care about what's happening in Israel should vote in the election and how.
Please share even if you can't vote.

World Zionist Congress polls open in US, with ‘soul of the State of Israel’ at stake https://www.timesofisrael.com/world-zionist-congress-polls-open-in-us-with-soul-of-the-state-of-israel-at-stake/

A: The governing body of the World Zionist Org. Oversees the Jewish agency, land and environmental projects, and education initiatives among other things.
The budget is over $1 billion. The WZC impacts staffing & policy at orgs it oversees.
If those things are important to you, then you should vote in this election.
A1: A New Union (ANU)
A2: Fighting for pluralistic Judaism in Israel and policies/staffing that advance two states, among other goals.
I joined because I was asked and because I believe pluralism and peace are essential to a sustainable Jewish future.
I encounter many Jews who are unhappy with the rightward drift in Israel. This is your opportunity to do something about it.
Vote here or register to vote here. Please consider voting for 'A New Union' (ANU)

And in your honor I will share this old Catskill era joke:
Max and Sadie Schwartz are flying to Hawaii when the plane hits some turbulence and crashes into the Pacific. By some miracle, Max and Sadie survive and wash up on the shore of what appears to be a deserted island. 1/3
