Jess – Zionist with a Heart of Gold

Meet Jess is a Jew

We Won’t Be Silent—And Neither Should You

In this conversation with the brilliant Jewish Jess —who cheekily says she lives in Londanistan—we dive into what it means to speak out when silence is no longer an option. Because let’s face it: silence, especially now, equals complicity.

From the disturbing rise in antisemitism to the societal pressure to “stay in your lane,” Jess and I get brutally honest about why using your voice matters more than ever. It’s why we use social media the way we do—because frankly, little else matters anymore.

We may not have all the answers, but we know one thing for sure: doing nothing is weakness.

We also talk about my campaign for the World Zionist Congress with The Jewish Future Slate #20—aptly named, because it’s my way of being proactive and honoring the legacy of my parents. Especially when their parents didn’t get the same chance to live in a free society.

Historically, American Jewish voter turnout for this Congress is pathetically, embarrassingly low. In 2020, only 1.6% of U.S. Jews voted. Be a mensch—get involved. VOTE.

Please vote for The Jewish Future Slate #20 now through May 4. Click the link, learn more, and join us.

If this conversation resonates, stand with us. Speak up. Vote. Share.
Because we can’t—and won’t—be silent.

American Jews please vote for our Jewish Future – Slate #20.
