How the Israeli war has impacted small Israeli businesses.

Since October 7th 2023, there has been a shift and change in Israel. That black morning not only impacted young children, families and grandparents - it affected every Israeli whether physically or emotionally. Every Israeli who was called up to head back to reserve went and an additional 150% turned up out of patriotism and Zionism. People opened their homes to the displaced and put their own lives, businesses and aside all to help the cause - return security to the Israeli borders and its people.

Small business owners who also got called up to reserves, packed a bag, said goodbye to their loved ones and went to protect the Holy Land and the people, we're talking about age ranges from 21 - 45. After their duration having been in their reserve services they returned home and went back to their lives, however, it wasn't the same - their once thriving businesses have been hit due to the lack of tourism and more. After the initial shock when the conflict began, small Israeli business owners quickly realized the enormous challenges they would face in the coming months. The closure of public spaces, tourism grinding to a standstill, lack of childcare, and citizens being called up to serve are just a few reasons why the economy is suffering, as always happens in war, however, even with this information and knowledge, the Israeli people rallied together and didn't think twice about serving and protecting.

At Artza we are attempting to help Israeli small businesses in this difficult situation through our website and subscription boxes which provide small businesses with an additional method are income.
