The spread of coronavirus is going to cause many small businesses to take a big hit, so we want to do our part by supporting as many Jewish artists as possible.
Of course, if you’re struggling yourself, no need to feel at all guilty about focusing on just what you need to get by. But if you have some money to spare, take a look at these shops for some great Jewish jewelry, clothing, and more. (If you’re just looking for Passover items, head over here.)
