World Zionist Village Momentum Continues with Master Plan Approval

A bold new chapter in Zionist engagement is beginning in Be’er Sheva. The Jewish National Fund USA’s World Zionist Village—a 16-acre, $350 million campus—will soon open, sparking fresh discussions about the beauty and promise of Zionism’s future. This visionary campus’ master plan, designed by HQ Architects and engineered by the Waxman Group, will serve as a space to foster intergenerational and community bonds, advocacy, engagement, and Zionist education and enrichment. It will also feature a Living Lab for Innovation and the Zionist Institute—a global hub for Zionist thought, fostering global dialogue on Zionism’s evolving role over the next century. At its core, the Village will expand the Alexander Muss High School in Israel, offering students worldwide an immersive Zionist education. For the people of Israel, Be’er Sheva—“the cradle of Zionism”—symbolizes resilience and renewal, especially amid ongoing challenges. The city’s mayor, Ruvik Danilovich, calls the project “a living bridge”—a testament  to education, ethics, and architectural excellence.
