The World Zionist Village’s bold mission: Create a place for people to unite

The World Zionist Village is designed to become the world's premier gathering place for Jewish connection, Zionist education and innovation, according to Yoel Rosby of Jewish National Fund-USA, who says the ambitious initiative will strengthen both Israel's Negev and the bond between Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. Speaking at the ynet Global studios, Rosby described the project as far more than a campus, calling it a long-term investment in Jewish identity, leadership and community that will serve generations to come. "Our strength has always been togetherness," Rosby said. "From biblical times through the synagogue and Jewish communities around the world, we've always needed a place where people can gather." He believes the World Zionist Village will become that place—a global destination where Israel supporters from around the world can come together to learn, collaborate and build lasting relationships.
