Nachum and Stuart Katz Discuss "Shuk to the Core" and Supporting Israel's Small Businesses

Nachum Segal welcomed Stuart Katz, co-founder of Shuk to the Core, to JM in the AM to discuss this unique initiative supporting Israeli artists, artisans, and small-business owners whose livelihoods have been impacted by the war. Shuk to the Core brings the spirit of Israel’s traditional marketplace to Jewish communities across North America, giving Israeli vendors the opportunity to showcase and sell their products directly to American consumers. Beyond providing vital economic support, the initiative fosters meaningful personal connections between Israeli business owners and Jewish communities abroad. Through these events, participants can share their stories, showcase their creativity, and experience firsthand the solidarity of Jews around the world. Katz discussed the importance of supporting Israel’s small businesses and the powerful role that community engagement can play in helping them rebuild and move forward.
