Connect with Israel Through Lev Haolam's Surprise Boxes

Understanding Lev Haolam’s Mission Lev Haolam’s mission is intrinsically linked to providing substantial support to over 300 small Israeli producers, making a meaningful impact on more than 1,820 families across the country. The subscription service ensures that each month, subscribers receive boxes filled with 6-8 carefully selected products from various Israeli families. This approach not only bolsters local economies but also supports regional artisans in areas such as Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Negev, and Golan. Since its establishment in 2014, Lev Haolam has shipped over 1,380,000 boxes to a thriving community of 90,000+ members worldwide. This initiative is not merely...

Lev Haolam vs Artza: The Short Answer Lev Haolam ships a box of 6-8 full-size Israeli-made products every month for $119, working with more than 300 Israeli producers across Israel including Judea and Samaria and supporting 1,820+ families. Artza ships one themed box every three months, at $94 seasonally or $84.50 per box billed annually, built around a place from Scripture and the path of Jesus. Both send real products from Israel and both offer free US shipping on subscription boxes. The differences that matter are rhythm, flexibility and what you can buy: Artza is a seasonal Scripture-centered journey. Four boxes a year, each exploring a different biblical place, with Scripture-based storytelling and family games. Artza sells the journey as a whole – by policy, it does not sell individual boxes. Lev Haolam is a monthly Israeli products box built around real producers, themed stories, and year-round support. Up to twelve boxes a year, with Israeli-made products, producer stories, and the option to buy a single box once with no subscription at all.  If you want Scripture-based content, a quarterly rhythm and a lower price per box, Artza may be the better fit. If you want Israeli-made products arriving monthly, one-time box flexibility, real producer stories, and ongoing support for Israeli families and small businesses throughout the year, Lev Haolam may be the better fit. 

More Than Bread At first glance, pita seems wonderfully ordinary. It’s served at family dinners, packed into school lunches, sold at roadside falafel stands, and found on almost every Israeli table. Whether paired with hummus, grilled vegetables, shawarma, or simply dipped into olive oil and za’atar, pita has become an inseparable part of everyday life. Its story, however, stretches back thousands of years. The Hebrew word pat , meaning “piece of bread,” appears in one of the Bible’s earliest stories of hospitality. In the Book of Genesis, Abraham welcomes three strangers into his tent beneath the oaks of Mamre and...

What could we do to help them?

Give the Gift of Light: A Keepsake Menorah The reason Hanukkah is called “The Festival of Lights” is because of the miracle that happened within the Jewish temple in Jerusalem in 164 B.C.E. In order to rededicate the temple for worship, the priests required a pure source of lamp oil to light the lamps within. Though they managed to retake the city from their enemies, they discovered only a single remaining cruse (or container) of purified oil within the temple. This would only be enough to light the lamps for a single day. Through a great miracle, the oil kept...

In keeping with the biblical prophecy from Zechariah 14:12, “Then everyone who survives of all of the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths,” thirty-nine years ago a passionate group of Christians with a love for Israel, met to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. They wanted to stand with Israel and show their allegiance to our Jewish homeland. This was the birth of the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem (ICEJ) and since that day thousands of Christians from...

Batya told us that her and her husband had always been interested in living in Judea and Samaria. “When we first got married, we lived in Bat Ayin , but then we moved to Tsfat and then we found ourselves back here in the Shomron again… It’s one of the most beautiful places in Israel,” Batya tells us. Batya continued to tell us about the ‘why’ that brought her and her family to Samaria. “I could have lived my life in San Diego, California working as a nurse and making a lot more money, but I believe that being here...

The Numbers That Matter It’s easy to skim numbers. It’s more meaningful to sit with what they actually mean. In 2025, Lev Haolam worked with 100 Israeli artisans .

Over the course of the year, 20 new artisans joined the Lev Haolam community. Not because the timing was comfortable, but because they were looking for something rare: stability, consistency, and a partner they could rely on . Every single month, an average of 42 artisan families were supported through...

The Tree of the Field Is Man Our January message draws from timeless biblical wisdom, beginning with the verse from Deuteronomy: “For man is the tree of the field.” This idea – that human life is deeply intertwined with the land, with nature, and with divine purpose – runs through Jewish thought and through the story of Israel itself. Throughout the Psalms and the words of the prophets, trees are not merely background scenery. They rejoice, they mourn, they wither, and they flourish alongside humanity. When people walk in faith and harmony, the land bears fruit. When tragedy strikes, even...
