What you can do to help Israel

Support your Favorite Israeli Cultural Institution: With fewer tourists traveling to Israel, the museums, theatres, and other cultural programs have seen a rapid decline in membership and attendance.  The arts are an integral and life-affirming component of Israeli society and it is imperative show our support for these institutions.  For more information, please visit the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/go.asp?MFAH00kj0#culture.

Buy Israeli Products: There are a wide variety of Israeli foods and wines that are available in the U.S., as well as a number of Israeli companies that export Israeli foods and food baskets.  The Israeli Exporters Catalog is one website that may be helpful in identifying Israeli products exported to the United States, and can be accessed at http://www.export.org.il/.  You can also make purchases on line at http://www.shopisrael.com.  

Keep in touch with friends and family in Israel.  Regular phone calls and e-mails can let Israelis know that they are not alone.
