The “Local Shopping” community was founded during the Covid-19 lockdowns, to support Israeli businesses impacted by the pandemic. Local Shopping’s mission has now taken on a new, critical mission since the outbreak of the 2023 “Iron Swords” war. Now is the time, more than ever, to help Israeli businesses stay afloat, in light of the war’s devastating economic effects. More brands join the platform every day, as Local Shopping showcases their products and services, connecting them with customers around the world.
