The fair was held free of charge for business owners, without rental fees, electricity costs, or any expenses for setting up, all thanks to the contribution of the KKL–JNF Workers' Organization. Additionally, KKL–JNF workers donated vacation days to fund various purchases for soldiers and citizens on the front lines.
Among the businesses and business owners who came to Tel Aviv to sell their goods were an artist from Kfar Maimon creating artworks from parts of missiles falling in the southern areas, a girl from Sderot selling yellow bracelets with the Star of David and donating the money to soldiers, and a young entrepreneur who, just two months after giving birth, sold handmade textile products for babies and children. She had prepared the merchandise before giving birth so she could enjoy maternity leave as needed, but unfortunately, her business is currently closed.
The Workers' Organization of KKL–JNF calls on Israeli citizens to come and support businesses that have closed or relocated due to the war, urging them to purchase from these businesses.
Israel Goldstein, the National Workers' Organization chairman of KKL - JNF, said , "Difficult days pass over all of us, especially the businesses that were affected and closed during the war. KKL - JNF workers volunteered for the residents of the Gaza periphery and the north, donating vacation days that were converted into a donation of one million shekels to produce this wonderful event, providing an opportunity for businesses to come and earn a dignified living. We call on everyone to come here and buy blue and white products."
