Our hearts are shattered at the loss of life and the lives forever impacted by the barbaric actions of terrorists in Israel. We watch with bated breath as the events continue to unfold, and we pray for the safety and well-being of all those we love, and for all of Israel. We stand united with Israel as her soldiers fight against this evil within her own borders and in Gaza. While we grieve this loss, we are mobilizing our community to act on behalf of Israel, her soldiers, and her citizens. We are dedicating this page of our website to providing opportunities to volunteer and donate, resources to stay updated, process what is happening, and communicate about the current reality with one another. Please be in touch with us as we are all in this together.

Judaica, jewelry, ceramics, art, fashion, and home decor to toys and games. Many vendors ship globally and within Israel, so you can even send food baskets to Israeli family and friends. Check out www.achi613.org/achi-market to see for yourself--and start shopping!
ACHI’ s motto, "Support Israel – Buy Israeli," reflects its ongoing commitment to bolstering the Israeli economy. Founded in 2004 by five high school girlfriends, now septuagenarians, ACHI began as a “bricks and mortar” market to help struggling Israeli merchants during the Second Intifada. When COVID hit and Israeli tourism plummeted once again, the fairs went digital, forming the current online market. Now that Israel is at war, ACHI's mission is to host more merchants than ever before. Any Israeli shopkeeper can sign up on-line at no cost.

As for our brothers (and sisters), the whole house of Israel, who are given over to trouble or captivity, whether they abide on the sea or on the dry land
May God have mercy upon them, and bring them forth from trouble to enlargement, from darkness to light, and from subjection to redemption speedily and soon.
