First Look
Everything was carefully wrapped and packed in the box.
When you first open the box, the large information card gives you details about the destination. The box, we travel to Bethlehem.
The box included a bundle of information cards about the featured artisans in the box.
Each card has a featured photo on the front, with details about the artisan on the back.
Two postcards feature Church of the Nativity and Shepherd's Field. You can read more about each place on the back of the postcards.
Halva Almond Swirl Cookies Recipe You can use the halva in this box for the recipe.
Standard Box Items
Tables That Talk Game This box contains 20 beautiful autumn leaves. Each leaf has a question to answer. You place these on the top of your glass at the dinner table. As the meal progresses, you share the answer to your question. Anati & Sarit created these cards to have a meaningful conversation around the dinner table.
Fenster's Toffee with Salt This toffee is made in Israel with fresh toffee, Atlantic sea salt, chocolate, and cream, Oden is the craftsman behind this toffee, and he is one of the best artisanal chocolate makers. He also employed young adults with developmental challenges.
Holy Cacao Dark Chocolate & Peppermint, I love trying new artisanal chocolate. This is a mix of 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Peppermint. I am partial to dark chocolate, and this has the right amount of bitterness and sweetness. Ingredients: cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter, mint oil. Kosher Certified By Rabbi Eliezer Altshuler, Hebron
Hand Crafted Olive Wood Christmas Ornaments – Master Craftsman, Jamil Hosh These beautiful ornaments are my favorite items from the box. We always have a few trees decorated for Christmas, and these will look beautiful hanging up. Jamil is the craftsman behind these ornaments. He has spent 40 years crafting. No two ornaments are the same, and all the ornaments due to the uniqueness of the wood.
Bethlehem Scented Candle I didn't get an information card about this candle, so I don't know about the artisan. The candle is a warm fragrant candle that is very inviting. I would love to buy a larger version.
Nissan Brothers Decorative Ceramic Plate I love handcrafted pottery and this piece is beautiful. I like looking at and appreciating the artistry of this piece. The Nissan brothers work in their family's business, which has been in business for 50 years.
Rusty's Halva Almond Nut Butter Grab the recipe from the book and have a family day of cooking. This is free from peanuts, so it safe to eat aound my son.
A truly Israeli flavor–we combined Israeli almonds with tahini to bring an authentic flavor that tastes just like halva (but without the processed sugars!) A healthy twist on a delicious well-known snack that you can find at any market in Israel.
Premium Items
20 Postcards of Israel by The PhotoHouse These postcards are beautiful pictures of Israel. The cardstock is extra thick, so they can be displayed on the walls of your home. I love black and white photography, these will look beautiful in my office.
Emanual Coasters This was the other premium item in my box. I do wish there was an information card for these beautiful coasters. This set contains 6 different beautiful coasters from places around Israel.
Final Thought: Artza is more than a subscription box. It's a step inside the Holy Land. Artza gives you the full experience: learning Hebrew, tasting authentic food, or appreciating art. If you want to try Artza, use this link with the HOLYLAND10 to get 10% off on any option.
