NEW YORK - July 14, 2026: Nominations are now open for the Jerusalem Post and Jewish National Fund-USA’s 2026 Top 25 Vizionaries, an international initiative recognizing young Zionist leaders under 46 who are going above and beyond to support the land and people of Israel.
Previous winners include Eylon Levy, former spokesperson for Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office; Lucy Ayoub, Israeli Arab news anchor; Alex Witkoff, businessman; U.S. Congressman Ritchie Torres; and American evangelical leader Reverend Johnnie Moore.
Once nominees complete the online nomination form, they will receive a link to share on social media to encourage their networks to vote for them.
The Top 25 Vizionaries will be announced on Friday, September 11, just before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and at the same time as the publication of the Jerusalem Post’s 50 Most Influential Jews list.
JNFuture National Chair Danielle Hankin highlighted the need for young people to stand up.
“My generation has inherited both extraordinary opportunities and significant challenges in supporting Israel and strengthening Jewish life,” said Hankin. “As National Chair of JNFuture, and as a mother raising the next generation of proud Jews, I believe young Zionist leadership has never been more important. We cannot afford to be bystanders, we must be informed and connected to be advocates, philanthropists, and leaders. Through JNFuture, I have seen so many young adults step forward to lead with passion and more importantly, purpose. The future of Zionism will be shaped not by those waiting their turn, but by those willing to step up today. Jewish National Fund USA provides a seat at the table for those ready.”
JNFuture is Jewish National Fund-USA's fastest-growing donor demographic, representing supporters ages 22-40.
Judges from the Jerusalem Post and Jewish National Fund-USA’s JNFuture donor society will review nominations and determine the final list of 25 by evaluating the total number of votes and the nominees’ overall accomplishments.
Nominations can be submitted up until 5 PM U.S ET on August 23, 2026, at top25vizionaries.com. For more information, contact press@jnf.org. Find a JNFuture Chapter near you at jnf.org/jnfuture.
