Our Israeli friends in the Middle East are always happy to get support. If it’s by tourism, media coverage, parades, contributions, or even little gestures such as having “the greatest country in the world” mug in your office.
Now, more than ever, it is important to pitch in and show our endless love and appreciation for Israel, wear an IDF shirt or proudly hang the Israeli flag on our front doors.
They might be talking about crisis in the White House but we know that Israel is the 51st State and we're going to prove it by wearing the JerUSAlem T-Shirt:Or you can go all IDF with an Israeli Defense Force IDF T-Shirt, worn by new Israeli recruits:
And how about an original army cap to finish the look?
If you're looking for something more personal, there's a great gift idea for you:It's a cute little wallet with the Israeli flag and chain.
And here's another great addition to any home or office:A ceramic mug that celebrates 60 years since the founding of the state of Israel.
Feel free to visit www.Eichlers.com, browse our Support Israel section for the entire selection and take an active role in the future of Israel.
Keeping Kosher doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t eat lettuce… If you just avoid eating veggies and leafy green herbs we want you to have a look at the new Bug Checker.The professional mashgichim at OU use large photographic light boxes to help check for infestations and the new Bug Checker is a quick and thorough way to keep up to the highest kosher standards/ The Bug Checker provides all the benefits of a professional light box, but designed specifically for the private kosher kitchen.
It's compact in size for easy storage, uses safe low voltage LED lights and rechargeable batteries and is reasonably priced. Once the lettuce leaf is ready for checking, simply place the leaf on the Bug Checker and turn on the LED light switch. The bright LED light shines through the leaf but not through the bugs, making them easy to spot. Don't worry about the lettuce leaf being wet - the Bug Checker light has a waterproof surface and is safe to use.The Bug Checker is now featured at www.eichlers.com at an amazingly low price.

Dudu Fisher, one of the greatest Israeli artists, is planning a fall tour here in the East Coast. Fisher is known all over the world thanks to a magical performance as Jean Valjean in the original cast of the hit musical "Les Miserables." Actually, he was the first actor to be excused from weekend performances of the London production - as he is Orthodox.
During October 2009, Fisher will perform here in New York, Long Island, New Jersey, Boston, Baltimore, head up to Canada to do some more singing and end up in Kansas City before going back to Israel.
Here is your chance to get ready for the show. Check out Fisher's CD Shabbat Shalom - a treasury of Shabbat songs. It is a traditional collection with songs like Lecha Dodi, Shabbat Hamalka and other songs that have been a part of the jewish people for generations. This album brings you all the classic melodies coupled with a touch of the modern.
This CD and more of Fisher's music is available on line at www.eichlers.com together with all of your Judaica needs. Give us Eichlers a visit, and in the meantime, enjoy Fisher's Chazonim Oif Probe:
Yair Emanuel is a true Israeli artist. Being born on a Kibbutz and growing up in an Orthodox home in Jerusalem, Emanuel’s art is deeply influenced with a unique fusion of traditional Judaic motifs and modern Israeli and Asian art which he also acquired during his studies at the prestigious Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
Emanuel hand crafts his Judaic art in a Jerusalem studio and uses special techniques such as silk painting, hand embroidery and wood painting.
Check out this lovely Oriental Shabbat set: The Shabbat set consists of two Shabbat candlesticks and a Kiddush cup. When the candlesticks are overturned they become a Havdala set. The vivid and harmonious colors characterize Emanuel's hand-painted ritual articles. Each wooden article is hand-painted with brush using acrylic colors and than lacquered.
This is another lovely piece, a "Jerusalem" Challah Board and matching knife:Both the Shabbat set and the Challah set can be used for eating and drinking, and can be washed in water since it is coated with several layers of lacquer.
At www.Eichlers.com you can find many of Emanuel art, including a Raw Silk applique'd Tallit setand and adorable Mayim Achronim cups. For all your Judaica needs drop in to www.eichlers.com and don't miss out on the great deals going on every day!
