Supporting Christian Families in Bethlehem: How We Do It

🔨 1. Empowering Artisans with Sustainable Jobs

We work directly with Bethlehem based Christian families not through resellers or factories . Most of our artisans operate from small, family-owned workshops where skills have been passed down for generations .

Every product you see on Zuluf.com is handcrafted by real people :

• Fathers teaching sons how to shape the grain of olive wood .
• Mothers carving intricate Nativity scenes .
• Grandparents polishing crosses with prayer and care .

Fair wages, safe working conditions, and consistent orders mean that these families can thrive, not just survive .

🌱 2. Using Ethical, Eco-Friendly Olive Wood

Olive trees are biblically significant, and we treat them with the reverence they deserve. That’s why we use only pruned branches never cutting down living trees or damaging the land .

Our wood is:

• Responsibly harvested from ancient olive groves in the Holy Land .
• Seasoned and cured naturally for durability .
• Carved in a way that preserves its natural beauty and spiritual symbolism .

This sustainable practice allows us to offer you genuine olive wood from Israel, while also protecting the land that gave us Christ .

🕊️ 3. Preserving the Christian Presence in the Holy Land

Today, Christians make up less than 1% of the population in Bethlehem a city that once raised the Savior . Economic hardship and emigration have deeply impacted this community .

At Zuluf, your support helps:

• Keep families in Bethlehem, where they want to stay .
• Strengthen the local Christian identity through meaningful employment .
• And revitalize traditional craftsmanship as a form of cultural resistance and pride .

You’re not just buying a keepsake you’re helping a family stay rooted in their faith and homeland .
