Young Zionist Voices: A New Generation Speaks Out

An unprecedented collection of essays by next-generation thought leaders offering visions for the Jewish future in the wake of October 7. 

On elite campuses across the Western world, Jewish students suddenly find themselves threatened, alone, and unsupported by faculty and administration. This timely collection of essays by young activists and thinkers offers a core of ideas to lead the next generation—one filled with Jewish pride, passion for Israel, and Zionist resilience in the face of a global assault on their identity, homeland, and heritage. 

“Reading this book is like taking all these brilliant young people out for coffee—and then listening, in silent awe, as they articulate their visions for the future. In a time of horror, here’s some fantastic news: The Jewish future is in good hands.”   — Dara Horn, author of People Love Dead Jews 

“As this essential collection of thoughtful and inspiring essays reveals, our future leadership is already emerging. This book is a gift of hope.”   — Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor 

“These essays are not just ideas. They are the seeds of a vibrant, unbreakable Jewish future.”  — Noa Tishby, co-author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew 

“Within these essays hide the next David Ben-Gurion, the next Vladimir Jabotinsky, the next Rabbi Kook and Ahad Ha’am—and so many other future leaders of a new, strong, and proud Zionist movement.” — Shai Davidai, Columbia Business School 

“A rising generation of young proud Jews are leaning into being Jewish, into the joy, into the history, into the future, and yes, into the fight.”   — Einat Wilf, author of We Should All Be Zionists 

“Here are the voices—passionate, urgent, contradictory, clear—that will shape the Jewish future. They demand attention and they deserve respect.”  — Rabbi David Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
