The “Zionist Spring” organisation was introduced to South Africans by SA olah Rolene Marks in July when she brought political and Zionist leader Ruchama Avraham to give two free talks in SA, in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Ruchama Avraham is an Israeli political and Zionist leader who has served as a Member of Knesset (MK) for both Likud and Kadima.

Now, the organisation wants to officially launch in South Africa.

In order to do this, however, they need to comply with World Zionist Organisation rules which stipulate that they have to have a membership and they have to be affiliated to the SA Zionist Federation.

The Zionist Spring has as its main aim, to re-energise and re-invigorate the Zionist movement at the parliament of the Jewish people, the World Zionist Congress. “In order to affect decisions, we need as many people signing up as possible,” says SA olah Rolene Marks (PICTURED ABOVE RIGHT).

“We have launched in the US and Canada and now we hope to do the same in South Africa.”

Jewish Report has made it easy for those who want to join up, by uploading the application form to the website. Simply click to download the attached MEMBERSHIP FORM which is in Word format, click on Rolene’s e-mail address in the following paragraph and attach the form. Easy as pie! 

“We encourage as many people to sign and email back to rolenemarks@yahoo.com,” says Rolene.

She stresses that “The Zionist Spring is NOT a fundraising or political organisation,” and encourages SA Jewry to “visit our website www.zionistspring.org and like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.”

The membership forms can only be submitted by those 18 or older and must be signed. The deadline for getting the forms back to Rolene is October 20, so don’t waste any time.

“Help us rejuvenate Zionism in South Africa today!” says Rolene passionately.
