Hoshen: Handcrafted Judaica

I’m Ziva, a single mom dedicated to running Hoshen, a store offering handcrafted Judaica. With your support, I can expand our inventory, enhance our marketing efforts, and continue providing meaningful opportunities for artists with special needs.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

Before the recent war, Hoshen was already struggling due to the pandemic's long-term effects, which reduced tourism and sales. The war has only added to these challenges. This loan will help stabilize the business, restock our inventory, and continue supporting the artists who create our products.

My business - My spark

I took over Hoshen when the previous owner moved abroad, after working here since I was 17. My passion is providing the Jewish community in Jerusalem with meaningful Judaica, crafted by local artists, including those with special needs. Our store plays a small but important role in celebrating and preserving our heritage.

A few more words

Hoshen has been a central part of my life since I was a teenager. I’m committed to supporting my family, our artists, and the community. Your support is more than just financial—it’s a partnership in keeping our shared traditions alive.
