Find or Buy Israeli Products

If 100,000 North Americans were to spend $3.00 per week on Israeli products, this would be $300,000 a week or $1,200,000 a month going back to the Israeli economy. Imagine if half of all of North America's 6,000,000+ Jews were to make a pledge to spend $3.00 per week on something made in Israel how this would increase exponentially. For the most up-to-date, comprehensive information on how to buy and where to find Israeli products, see the American Jewish Committee website, www.ajc.org, and click the link on top right "Made In Israel" or email: madeinisrael@ajc.org.

Volunteers for Israel is the U.S. branch of a non-profit, non-political organization, administered by the Israel Defense Forces, that participates in helping Israel by working on IDF bases doing non-combative logistical work, thus relieving reservists and soldiers to perform other necessary duties. This is a hands-on program, working with Israelis. People ages 18-80 are needed now to help on army bases and in hospitals. Programs range from two to three weeks. Groups are leaving frequently. Click on vfi-usa.org for details or call Volunteers for Israel at 212-643-4848 or email vol4israel@aol.com.
