To counter BDS and other naysayers, two college roommates merge their entrepreneurial spirit and love for Israel to start online wall art site Israel Framed
WASHINGTON, DC — While a rising number of polls show young American Jews feeling less connected to Israel than past generations, Eric Harris and Jeff Pawlak are challenging that growing trend by converging their passion for art, entrepreneurship and the Jewish State.
They did this by founding Israel Framed, an e-commerce company that sells Israel-themed artwork.
Israel Framed sells photographs of Jaffa sunsets and Jerusalem snowfalls, oil-on-canvas paintings of Safed and other ancient cities, murals reflecting the variety of religions represented within the country. The collection is not only intended to portray Israel in a positive light, but to also display the many facets of Israeli society.
The idea for the business started six years ago, when the two were college roommates at the University of Maryland, College Park. There, they — like many pro-Israel students on American campuses — witnessed increasing enmity toward Israel through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and campus-wide demonstrations disapproving the country’s policies directed at Palestinians.
