The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is encouraging the community to buy Israeli products for Thanksgiving and Hanukkah in the Buy Israeli Goods (BIG) campaign.
“Not everyone can fly to Israel, or march on Congress, or rally at the U.N.,” the campaign’s founder, Frances Zelazny, said. “But people can make a purchasing decision.” The Federation’s website has lists of Israeli food products and gifts, and local stores and online retailers that carry Israeli items.
