Our Story
When we started Made in Jerusalem, we saw our friends leaving the city because they had no place to work. Those who stayed thought they were the only ones, and that it was crazy and hopeless to build a business in Jerusalem.
We believed Jerusalem’s potential could be so much greater, and were inspired by the impact that fulfilling this potential could have on a city as legendary and important to so many as Jerusalem.
Today, Jerusalem is in a different place. But we still have a long ways to go to reach the point of no return. We strive to build Made in JLM into an independent, community-led organization that will be strong and resilient enough to solve the necessary challenges for the decades to come.
