ACHI, American Communities Helping Israel, a grassroots organization, was founded in 2004 during the Second Intifada, to boost the economy and morale in Israel, as well as to raise awareness of keeping Israel in the hearts and minds of this and the next generation. The ACHI Team spreads a simple but effective marketing concept: “Support Israel – Buy Israeli.”  ACHI promotes making a lateral change in buying habits, and choosing Israeli products of all kinds.Displaying these products in a ” specifically dedicated KLEE- (a dish or bowl) “- functions as a constant reminder of our connection to Israel and its people.

ACHI has embarked on a new endeavor called The ACHI MARKET, an online site which hosts Israeli designers, vendors and manufacturers. 

The ACHI Team is currently promoting a new project which provides funds for meals for Israeli families affected by the war and for soldiers on the front. Beautiful greeting cards in sets of five with artwork by artists on our site and artists who are friends of  ACHI are being sold. These cards can be given in lieu of hostess gifts and as all occasion cards with a personal message.
