Artza | Our Story

“I will bless those who bless you… and all the families of the earth shall be blessed through you…and they went out towards the Land (Artza)” - Genesis 12:3-5

Artza was founded with two missions in mind:
- To take you on an immersive journey through the Land of Israel, building and strengthening your connection to the Land, stories, and words of the Bible.
- To provide an opportunity to support the people, families, and Charites of Israel.

With every Artza box that you will receive, we will give you and your loved ones a taste of this incredible Land. We will introduce you to its people, and take you on a journey on the path that Jesus walked. From the comforts of your home in America, we will deliver a little piece of what makes the Holy Land so special and bring the places we read about in the Bible to life.

From Jerusalem to the Galilee, Bethlehem to Nazareth, the Northern mountains to the Southern deserts of Israel.

We promise to inspire, delight and uplift you with every Artza box, and through every box you receive, your funds will be supporting the small businesses and charities featured in your Artza box. With over 79,000 boxes sent out - as we continue our journey through the Land of the Bible, we’d be honored if you’d join us, too.

Our name “Artza” is Hebrew for “towards the Land.” Our name is meant to capture the experience we hope to bring you – namely, a journey “towards the Land” of Israel. A land with rolling hills and dusty sands. A land that is flowing with milk and honey. A land with rich history and a vibrant future. A land filled with faith and promise.

Meet the Artisans

With each Artza box you buy, you’re supporting up to 9 different small Israeli charities and businesses. Meet some of our amazingly talented artists that you are helping support!

Nazareth

Tereza handmade soaps

Just outside the center of Nazareth, on a hill overlooking the green valleys of the Galilee, is a studio where a young soap-maker named Tereza is living out her dream.A mother of three, Tereza went to school to learn how to make all natural, high quality soaps, and now sells them across Israel.

Tereza created a custom, hand-made soap for Artza members that is refreshing and aromatic, and which truly highlights the best of her craft.

Bethlehem

Rudi - Photo House

A young immigrant to Israel named Rudi Weissenstein moves to the Holy Land from his native Czechoslovakia. And, with little more than a camera and a dream, Rudi soon establishes himself as the most significant photographer of young state.

Over a career that spanned six decades, Rudi captured some of the most important moments in the history of Israel and amassed a collection of over one million shots of the Holy Land.

Today, his legacy is being carried on by his grandson Ben, who took over his grandfather’s store, aptly called “Hatzelmania” in Hebrew, which means the Photohouse.

Bethlehem

Oded Fenster Toffee

After playing basketball professionally in Israel, Oded Fenster decided to follow another dream: to become one of Israel’s best artisanal chocolate makers.

18 years ago, he flew to Belgium to hone his craft. Each of his chocolates, toffees and marzipans is hand-made with love, together with a staff that includes young adults with developmental challenges.

For Artza, he crafted a special Mediterranean Sea Salt Toffee, which uses flaky sea salt to complement the creamy taste of toffee, and combines for a sweet and salty taste you’ll be reaching for again and again.
