Ramah Counselors Say: Vote Mercaz!

An important message from Ramah veteran counselors David Kotton, Zoe Fischman, Ian Toppall, Ariel Plevan, and Jonah Adler: please act NOW and vote MERCAZ in the WZC elections!

There’s only a few more days to act! Any Jewish American over 18 years old can do this; it just takes a few minutes.

If you haven’t already done so, please vote MERCAZ USA (Slate 17) today! Visit: votemercazusa.org

The WZC controls the allocation of over $2.5 billion in funding to key Jewish institutions, including those that directly impact Ramah camps. 

We are asking for help from every member of the Ramah community to please support Conservative/Masorti Jewish values, and the shlichim (Israeli emissaries) program that is so critical to the Ramah experience, by voting MERCAZ in these elections.  Your vote will help support: 

• Ensuring a pluralistic, democratic Israel that recognizes all streams of Judaism. 

• Investing in Jewish life in the U.S., combating antisemitism and misinformation about Zionism. 

• Helping rebuild Israel in the aftermath of October 7 and supports hostage families. 

• Ensuring funding for Israel education at Ramah camps and programs like Ramah Seminar and TRY (Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim). 

• Protecting our shlichim (Israeli emissaries) program – a core part of the Ramah experience. 

This will just take a few minutes at votemercazusa.org. Any Jewish adult over 18 can vote, and it’s very easy to do. 

 Ramah New England staff-members Josh Edelglass and Michelle Sugarman, who are the co-directors of our overnight camp, are on the Mercaz slate, along with several other Ramah camp directors!  

 Please don’t skip this — please vote MERCAZ USA – Slate 17 — this is the slate for Conservative/Masorti Judaism — at votemercazusa.org – it takes 5 minutes and $5 (an administrative fee for the election).
