To celebrate Israel’s 75th 
birthday, ACHI, American 
Communities Helping Israel, 
is launching “2023: Year of 
the Klee.”
ACHI is encouraging 
everyone to have a KLEE in 
their home to show support 
for Israel. Klee stands for 
“Klee L’ezrat Yisroel,” a vessel 
to help Israel. The idea is 
to dedicate a plate, bowl, 
mug, or platter to fill with 
products from Israel.
There are three ways to 
make a Klee
• Take something you 

already have and designate it 
as a Klee
• Buy a new dish from an 
Israeli company to use as a 
Klee 
• Make your own Klee. 
This can be made from 
scratch on a pottery wheel or 
can be formed by decorating 
a new dish with paint or 
permanent markers.
Once you have your Klee, 
make sure to keep it filled 
with Israel-made products 
and display it in your home, 
office, or school. You can 
purchase the products at 

local stores that carry Israeli 
products, at www.achi613.
org or directly from stores in 
Israel.
“By making the Klee 
commitment to fill a 
dedicated dish with products 
from Israel, we are changing 
BDS to Buy, Display and 
Support Israel,” the ACHI 

Team explains. 
Once you have your 
Klee, make sure to post 
it on social media with 
#MyKLEE and tag @
ACHIforIsrael on Instagram 
and ACHI:American 
Communities Helping Israel 
on Facebook. 

Supported through the generosity of The Jewish Fund and the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Family Foundation.
