Equipped with a tray of chocolates produced in Hevron, they group offered the chocolates to passersby and asked if they'd heard about the EU's controversial decision.
Surprisingly, many of the tasters said they had not heard about the decision to label so-called "settlement" products.
"If we chanced upon those who'd heard about the decision, we were embraced with a hug and passionate support," said Lev HaOlam chairman Nati Rom. "People don't like boycotts, from our perspective and theirs, it's not how people should act."

You are welcome indeed!
Elite is the largest Israeli chocolate brand, with about 60 other Israeli chocolate factories in close competition. It is available as a bittersweet dairy-free bar. Amazon actually carries it, as does any kosher grocery store. If a chocolate bar says “parve” or “pareve”, it is dairy-free. Jews can’t eat meat and milk together, so many products are produced “pareve” (neutral: neither meat nor milk) so that they can be consumed with meat or milk.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
