Jerusalem---- September 4.....The best of Israel always comes out during times of crisis. Creative, caring minds went to work seeking security, food and comfort for those in the North as Hezbollah carried out thousands of Israel Lebanon cross-border rocket terror attacks.

But as Israelis were helping Israelis, tourists fearing for their lives, stayed away from Israel.

And that's where the Internet played and continues to serve a potent role in keeping Israel's economy alive.

"During the Israel Lebanon war Judaicawebstore.com launched a global Internet advertising campaign with the slogan: "Do It Right - Buy Blue and White", said IsraelJewishGifts.com CEO Arik Barel.

"We received a huge response from both Jews and Christians from all over the world who wanted to illustrate their support of Israel. During the war we got more than 350,000 unique visitors coming into our Israel gifts Internet store. We promoted businesses located in the north of Israel who suffered the most from the war. We also launched a campaign encouraging people to buy Israel flags, Israel flags hats and caps, Israel flags kippot and Israel flags T-shirts. We wanted people to go proudly with the Israeli flag on their chest or over their head. The success was evidenced with thousands of people from all over the world buying Israel flags products. These good people from North America, Europe, Asia and South America not only supported Israel through their display of the Israel flag, but even more so by purchasing from companies based in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa."

Judaicawebstore.com is one of the leading online stores from Israel specializing in the Jewish market. The site is owned by J.W.G. Ltd. which was incorporated in Israel. J.W.G also owns israzon.com which also functions as the Jerusalem Post newspaper store. The Jerusalem Post is considered to be one of the two leading English newspapers from Israel.

J.W.G also operates the Aish.com store. Aish.com is the largest Jewish learning site. J.W.G operates the JerusalemOnline.com store. Judaucawebstore.com strives to provide people across the globe with leading Israel brands.

"Judaicawebstore.com goal is to offer only the best quality products - at the most attractive prices," say Barel. "On judaicawebstore.com you can find more than 3,000 different products made by some of Israel's leading brands including AHAVA dead sea cosmetics, Yarden Wines, Israel Museum gifts maps and posters, Hazorfim Silverware, Revadim Roman Glass jewelry and much more."

"Now that tourism to Israel is once again very slow because of the recent war and the threat of another war between Israel, Iran and Syria, many small and large manufacturers are suffering a partial and or total loss of income," says Barel. "The Internet serves as an effective means to buy products and gifts from Israel and concurrently help Israel businesses and the Israel economy to survive during this very hard and difficult period.
