“Israel Came to Me” — Stories from the Lev Haolam Family

Real Letters from Lev Haolam Subscribers Who Found a Way to Feel Close to the Holy Land

For many of our subscribers, visiting Israel is a dream cherished in their hearts for years—sometimes decades.
But even when traveling feels out of reach, there’s still a way to connect deeply, tangibly, and joyfully with the Land.
That’s where Lev Haolam comes in.
Each surprise box isn't just a delivery—it’s a love letter from Israel, wrapped in care.
These are the words of real women who’ve found something meaningful inside a little white box.
And their voices are too beautiful not to share.

💌 “You’re sharing Israel with those of us who can’t come there.”

— Mary, Missouri, USA
Mary has never visited Israel. But every month, when her box arrives, something in her home shifts.
The moment she opens it, it’s as if a window to Israel opens too.
“It’s just so awesome what you’re doing. Because you’re sharing Israel with those of us who can’t come there. That’s huge. You don’t know how much that means.”

“Sometimes the boxes are just humming. You can feel Israel in them. I want to come so badly, and maybe I never will. But I knew I could afford a box a month. And when I realized how much it helps the people there—that’s when I said: I’m in. I want to help, and I want to taste Israel.”

“It literally feels like thousands of years of history are arriving at my door.”
Mary calls it the happiest part of her month.
“Thank you for letting me feel Israel in a different way. I love you all. And I’m always here.”

🌟 “That white box is my footprint.”

— Paula
Paula’s words are deeply touching. She doesn’t see the Lev Haolam box as a product—it’s a presence.
“My little white box from Israel is the highlight of my month. Every single time.”
She cherishes not just the objects inside, but the care and intention behind them.
“It’s not just a bunch of things thrown in. It’s rich. The soul of the artisan is in everything—from food to ceramics to jewelry. You can feel it.”
And then, this:
“Until I can put my prosthetic feet in Israel, that box is my footprint.”
It’s her way of being present in the Land. Her own unique pilgrimage.

💖 “So Israel came to me.”

— Judy
Judy has always carried a love for Israel in her heart. But through Lev Haolam, she found a way to make that love visible.
“Oh my goodness, yes. It touches my heart so deeply.”

“The items you send… they come from the land. They’re the heart and soul of Israel. And when I hold something handmade like that, I feel it.”
So much so, that she reorganized her entire kitchen:
“I rearranged everything just so I could see the items every day. So Israel came to me.”

✨ “It’s like a kid getting a present.”

— Catherine
Catherine’s delight is unmistakable.
“When it shows up on my porch, I can’t wait. It’s like a birthday! What’s it going to be this time?”
But beyond the fun of unboxing, she finds something deeper.
“It’s good for me and good for them. I’d want to support them even if I didn’t get anything in return. But this… it’s just such a cool thing you do.”

🌾 “Every package is a blessing.”

— Marty, Texas
Marty knows she may never walk the land of Israel—
but she's found a different way to connect. One that involves the next generation.
“These are things I can pass down to my grandchildren. When I was growing up, we were in church every Sunday. But my grandkids aren’t getting that foundation.”
So she uses Lev Haolam to plant seeds of curiosity and tradition.
“I give them these gifts, hoping they’ll ask questions: ‘Who sent this?’ ‘Where’s it from?’ And that they’ll wonder: ‘Who is this woman out there who prays for me?’”
Her voice softens.
“Every package is a blessing. It’s like Christmas morning every time. I love Lev Haolam. It was divinely inspired.”

🕊️ Why This Matters

What we’ve learned through these stories is that connection doesn’t always require proximity.
Sometimes, it only requires intention.
Lev Haolam was created for moments like these—
for people who long to be part of Israel’s story, and want to make a real difference from wherever they are.
With each box, you:
  • support small Israeli businesses,
  • stand with families building resilience in uncertain times,
  • and experience the beauty, creativity, and strength of this land… right from your home.
And for many subscribers, it’s not just monthly mail. It’s a monthly embrace.

🎁 The Joy of Receiving — and Giving

When your Lev Haolam box arrives, it’s like opening a handcrafted journey.
You might find:
  • rich Israeli honey from the Galilee
  • a ceramic plate painted in biblical motifs
  • a jar of za’atar hand-blended on a Judean hillside
But the most treasured item might be the story behind it
the face of the woman who made your lotion, the man who poured your olive oil,
the family whose laughter echoes through the box.
And as you unpack your surprises, someone in Israel is:
  • rebuilding a workshop,
  • planting a vineyard,
  • or keeping their doors open—because of you.

🌸 Wondering what kind of treasures are inside?


Let Israel come to you, one beautiful box at a time.
