Introducing 'Young Zionist Voices'

New collection brings together the next generation of Jewish leaders.

David H.—Wicked Son books and the Z3 Project are proud to present 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.

Young Zionist Voices brings together young American, Israeli, and global Jews to offer a core of thought leadership for 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.

I’m proud to have edited this collection, which includes 31 essays by campus activists, young rabbis, Jewish professionals, writers and thinkers. It has a foreword by Eylon Levy, wartime spokesman for Israel, and an afterword by Zack Bodner, President and CEO of the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto, California.

Young Zionist Voices will officially launch this Sunday, November 17 at the Z3 Conference in Palo Alto, CA. Join us! Register now for the free webcast starting at 10am Pacific time.
