Lighting the way: Meet the next generation of Zionist leaders

Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF-USA) and The Jerusalem Post are celebrating their fourth annual "ViZionaries" list, recognizing 25 influential Zionists under 46. These young leaders, shaped by events like October 7th and rising antisemitism, are noted for their public commitment to Israel and their use of online platforms to promote Zionism. JNF-USA CEO Russell Robinson emphasized their bravery in confronting online attacks, stating, "If you want to see bravery, follow these young influencers." He also highlighted their potential to unite the Jewish people and noted that some honorees are from other faiths, believing that "If you're a Zionist, you've got to believe in light over darkness." JNFuture National Chair Danielle Hankin added that these leaders face unique challenges from misinformation on social media and that recognizing them helps them feel accomplished and provides valuable connections.
