Gili’s Goodies, based in Gush Etzion, decided that rather than simply sending goodies donated by friends from around the world, they would also distribute sets of lulavim and etrogim to soldiers in places around Israel that do not have access to a nearby synagogue where sets are available. “It’s important to let them know they are not forgotten and give them the opportunity to fulfill the mitzvah of lulav and etrog over the holiday of Sukkot,” said Gili’s Goodies CEO David Ehrlich.

Gili’s Goodies is making these sets available for purchase at a discounted rate of $25 per set and can be ordered via their website. Interested U.S. donors can also receive a tax receipt for purchases of eight or more sets by contacting Gili’s Goodies (http://www.gilisgoodies.com).
