"Israeli Snack Day" Announced
15:59 Oct 28, '03 / 2 Cheshvan 5764

The children's wing of an organization called ACHI - American Consumers Helping Israel - has initiated an interesting new program to help Israel's economy. Participating Jewish schools in the U.S. will institute a weekly Israel Snack Day, on which all students will have a snack produced and imported from Israel.

The program has three goals, say its organizers: helping Israel's economy by increasing consumption of Israeli goods; teaching young students the importance of helping their brothers and sisters in Israel; and promoting a sense of unity amongst all Jews.

ACHI coordinators Suzanne Weilgus, Gloria Gordon and Rochelle Zupnik explain the organization's philosophy as "encouraging simple ideas so that all consumers can participate" in helping Israel's economy and morale. More information on an ACHI curriculum guide and program goals is available at "www.ACHI613.com". The Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York (BJENY) has joined with ACHI to promote the Snack Day program in Jewish schools across the U.S.

Target carries some Israeli vanilla wafers with chocolate cream that are to die for :) I also like Kedem's chocolate tea biscuits. Israeli snacks are a good thing to consider for all Freepers who want to support Israel, but they are dangerous to your diet.

Gefen pickles are also quite good and very crispy. Kroger carries them.
