National Buy Israel day counters boycott

Sign up for Weekday J and get the latest on what's happening in the Jewish Bay Area.

Countering a national “Boycott Israel Day” organized by various anti-Israel groups, the pro-Israel organization StandWithUs is pushing March 30 as a day for supporters of Israel to deliberately shop for Israeli products.

Bay Area stores that carry Israeli goods can be found at www.buyisraelgoods.org.

For example, Trader Joe’s stores carry Dorot frozen herbs and Pastures of Eden feta cheese, as well as its own brand of Israeli couscous. Berkeley Bowl carries such items as Galil juices, Masada bath salts and Hain’s falafel and hummus.
