As tourism in Israel still faces uncertainty, Artza is introducing some new products and vendors to homes across America in this quarters their Golan Heights-themed subscription box. As with each of their quarterly gift boxes delivered so far, this latest box will once again provide small businesses in Israel with the revenue boost they need to keep their doors open. And many of the vendors Artza works with provide crucial financial support and employment opportunities to their communities.
This box available in the spring will feature the work of Karina Chepelinski, whose story starts over 100 years ago. Karina’s grandfather Jacob fled Europe before WWI, leaving his beloved chocolate factory behind, and after a long tumultuous journey ended up in Argentina. Using European precision mixed with his newly-found Argentinian passion and flare, Jacob opened a new chocolate factory in Buenos Aires. Karina also fell in love with chocolate, and in 2006 she decided to take Jacob’s legacy back to his ancestral home: Israel. Today that legacy lives through DeKarina, a chocolate shop Karina runs in the Golan Heights.
Karina’s is but one of many stories told through the products in Artza’s latest assortment of treasures, which brings the flavors, smells and history of the Golan Heights to your home.

We also hope that each treasure unites you in a new way with God’s people in the Holy Land.”
