Makers of Israel is an online marketplace supporting Israeli artists, small businesses and community-driven initiatives.
Our story
Launched in November 2024 with one goal: to connect people internationally to Israel through handcrafted products and the beautiful stories behind them.
Hi! We're
Sara& Hannah
Two Ohio natives, youth group friends, reunited in Israel.
Here we are smiling in a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv - because even in the toughest moments, joy, humor and supporting our Makers are our way of living the best we can.
August 2024. Almost a year after October 7th, nine North American turned Israeli women came together with one goal: to help their country.
Three months later, on November 25, 2024,
Makers of Israel launched.
It came alive
Our goal
is to shine a bright light on Israeli makers, tell their stories and provide a way for the diaspora to support them during this challenging time.
Connection
is at the heart of what we do. Our makers come from across the country, each uniquely affected by the war, and their stories are as diverse as their creations.
When you make a purchase, you also have the option to support wider Israeli society with added donations. We're currently supporting SafeHeart. You can read more about them here.
Our limited collection is carefully curated and offers a small collection of products, with varying price points catering to every customer. You can shop our collection here and learn more about our makers by clicking the Meet Our Makers tab.
