I've been down the kosher aisle. I should look at the labels of things I purchase anyway. I make my own potato pancakes, but would be willing to try the mix. most of this stuff is made in the US, however. I'm in Southern Ca. The stores focus more on Hispanic and Asian food products in my neck of the woods.

I was wondering what is actually imported from Israel? Would this actually help them out? Hey, couldn't hurt. We all buy noodles, soup mix, and bullion :-)

Here's a list - from a site in NorCal.

If there is a Jewish Federation office in your nearest big city, call and ask...

Call around and find a chain store or large grocery store with a Kosher butcher. They're common in Chicago, I assume you have them out there in the sticks :>). They'll generally be in areas with a population of observant Jews, and I'm sure you'll find several aisles of Kosher products (not Coors beer or Campbell soup) much of which will be from Israel.

Depending on the naighborhood, Ralph's and Trader Joe's usually have a decent kosher department.

For foods from Israel, and especially wines, try Elat Market down on Robertson, or Alef Market.
