World Zionist Village
Momentum continues to grow around our $350 million World Zionist Village, with leading Israeli architecture firm HQ Architects selected to plan the visionary project.
World Zionist Village will be located in Be’er Sheva, near Abraham’s Well, where our people’s conversation first began. It will create an unparalleled gathering place for Zionists from around the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue, develop leadership skills, and strengthen their connection to our land and the people of Israel through shared values and a common destiny.
“We are thrilled to be the winning team for planning the World Zionist Village,” said Erez Ella, Founder and CEO of HQ. “Our goal is for World Zionist Village to be a groundbreaking learning lab of technological innovation, in addition to being a hub of inspirational discourse on the future of Zionism.”
The selection of HQ Architects represents an important milestone for the Village as excitement continues to build around what will be one of the Jewish world’s largest philanthropic capital projects.
“We are delighted to have selected a master planner that embodies the true essence of Zionism,” said Joe Wolfson, President of the World Zionist Village Executive Committee. “Zionists everywhere will come to our village to learn, be inspired, and have new conversations about strengthening and enhancing our Zionist movement.”
The Village will include accessible and inclusive gathering spaces for all community members and will also feature an additional campus of the Alexander Muss High School in Israel, which is expected to welcome 5,000 students annually in the coming years.
“This isn’t just a project of Jewish National Fund-USA; it’s for Zionists everywhere to be be a part of,” added Wolfson.
