Here are the features of the Christmas Joy box.

Ceramic Ornaments

ADI creates this set – The Ability Boutique, a company that employs their residents – those with severe disabilities – to craft these gorgeous ornaments for Artza boxes. The proceeds from the ornaments directly benefit the residents and their individual growth! ADI is just one of the many local businesses that Artza collaborates with. Each box features items from different artisans, showcasing the diverse talents and skills of the Holy Land’s local community.

We don’t put a Christmas tree up in my house, but these ornaments are beautiful and will be displayed year-round. One features an outline of the country of Israel, reminding us always to keep them in our prayers, as stated in Psalm 122:6, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
‘May those who love you be secure.'” The other says “Shalom” in Hebrew and English and will be hung to greet all who enter our home.

Star of David Candle Holder

Made from olive wood grown in Bethlehem, a Christian craftsman creates these. This candle holder is a decoration that’s both attractive and meaningful. I placed a tea-lite in ours, and it fits perfectly. You could also use it to hold a thick round candle of the correct size.

Bundukim Halva Coated Nuts

These are AMAZING! This box includes a small package, but not even a huge package of these would go far with my family. Nuts are coated with Halva – a tahini-based confection typical to the Middle East. They aren’t overly sweet but are such a tasty treat!

Shalvatea: Chamomile Rose Lavender

I remember Shalvatea because we received some in the Golan Heights box, and my house full of tea drinkers really enjoyed it!

The tea included in this box is a calming blend of chamomile, rose, and lavender. It has a pleasant aroma and flavor, a bit of a sweet taste, and comes in 18 tiny cloth tea bags. Shalvatea is made by hand by people with physical disabilities, so it’s a marvelous organization to support!

100% Natural Date Syrup

This spread, also called Silan, is so versatile! My family has used it on crackers, pancakes, and baked goods. This natural syrup is better for your family than many other things. It has just one ingredient – dates!

A recipe for Silan Oat Crushed Cookies is included with this date syrup. It looks great, but my family has yet to try it. When we do, I’ll update this post with our cookie review!

The Hineni Journal

Added to this box for premium subscribers is a unique handmade book with lined pages for writing and blank pages. The cover’s raw edges and outline of Israel distinguish this journal from other similar notebooks. The journal has Bible verses, Hebrew prayers (in English and Hebrew!), etc., to encourage and guide your thoughts.

On the cover is the word Hineni הנני. This Hebrew word for “Here I am,” used by Abraham and Moses in the Bible, is meaningful to us as we walk our faith and answer the call of what God requires.

Puzzle of the Four Cities

We’ve enjoyed the games in other Artza boxes, so we were excited to see another included! This puzzle is suitable for competing between two players (perfect for my competitive boys!) or challenging your problem-solving skills.

The quality of the blocks in this puzzle is outstanding. The four cities included, which are the four that played the most significant roles in Jesus’s life, are Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Galilee, with a different picture to represent each.

Vazu Flower Vase

I usually have fresh flowers somewhere in my home, so I use many types of vases, but this one is the most unique of all! What started as a creative student project for Chagai, its creator, developed into an extraordinary and useful item!

The vase arrives flat but will stand on its own, holding water and flowers when filled with water! And when it’s not in use, it’s profoundly easy to store!

Artza Postcards

Each Artza box includes postcards featuring an area of the Holy Land. The ones in this box spotlight Jerusalem blanketed in a rare snowfall and the modern city of Bethlehem.
