Pack for Israel is a family-run online store that offers everything you need for your GAP year in Israel under one roof. We sell all the items you need in your dorm: bedding, towels, laundry accessories, small appliances, toiletries, storage solutions and more.

We pride ourselves on high quality goods and competitive fair prices while giving GAP year parents and students a seamless and hassle-free shopping experience. 

Pack for Israel was created specifically to help GAP year students and their families prepare for life in Israel.

Unlike a general retailer, we coordinate deliveries directly with schools and programs, stock products that are ideal for student dorm rooms, and can hold orders until students arrive in Israel. We also provide ongoing support throughout the year, so if your child needs something after arriving, we're here to help.

Our goal is to make preparing for a year in Israel simple, convenient and stress-free.

Absolutely! You don't need to be part of a school or GAP year program to order from us. We deliver to any address in Israel. Simply choose Private Deliveries in your cart and enter your delivery address during checkout.

Yes! You can place your order before moving to Israel. Simply choose Private Deliveries in the cart, enter your new Israeli address, and select your preferred delivery date. We'll hold your order until you're ready to receive it and schedule delivery as close as possible to your arrival.

Whenever you're ready! Our warehouse is fully stocked before the GAP year season begins, so you can shop whenever it's most convenient for you.

Some families like to order early so they can check it off their to-do list, while others prefer to wait until closer to departure. Either way is perfectly fine - we're equipped to receive orders throughout the season and will hold your order until it's time for delivery.

To give us enough time to prepare your order and include it in your program's first scheduled delivery, we recommend placing your order at least 5 business days before your child's arrival in Israel.

If you're ordering less than 5 business days before arrival, we'll do our best to include it in the first school delivery whenever possible.

If you're unsure whether there's still enough time, feel free to contact us before or after placing your order. We'll be happy to let you know whether we expect your order to be included in the first delivery.

Absolutely! If you need to make a change to or cancel your order, simply contact us as soon as possible.

If you'd just like to add more items to your order, there's no need to make any changes. Simply place a new order using the same name, and we'll combine your orders for delivery whenever possible.

If there are more than 10 days before your delivery date, we're usually able to make changes or cancellations without a problem.

If your delivery is less than 10 days away, your order may already be in the process of being packed or scheduled for delivery. We'll always do our best to accommodate your request, but we can't guarantee that changes or cancellations will still be possible. Please contact us anyway, and we'll see what we can do.

Absolutely! Simply place another order using the same name, and we'll combine your orders for delivery whenever possible.

Absolutely! We're open year-round, so you can place an order whenever you need to.

Many families place a second order after their child arrives if they realize they've forgotten something or discover they need additional items. Whether it's a fan, storage drawers, extra bedding or anything else, we'll happily deliver it to them.

If your child is unable to attend their program in Israel for any reason, we'll give you two options:

• Receive a refund for the full amount of your purchase.
• Donate your order to Israelis in need who could benefit from the items.
  

Depending on the circumstances, a small cancellation fee may apply to cover handling costs.

You can enter your discount code in the cart or at checkout. If you're having trouble applying your code, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

You can only use one discount code for each order.

Items are only reserved once the purchase has been completed.

If you have not received an email from us confirming your purchase, please let us know immediately via our contact form with your full name and shipping address, and we will help to sort this out quickly.

Sometimes our emails may end up in your spam/junk or other folders and we suggest you check them before contacting us.

For Private Deliveries, your preferred delivery date lets us know whether we should hold your order until you're in Israel or available to receive it. We'll do our best to schedule delivery as close as possible to your requested date.

We work directly with schools and programs to coordinate deliveries before students arrive.

For deliveries to the Old City of Jerusalem, there is no surcharge for group deliveries when students arrive at the beginning of the year. For private or top-up orders after their arrival, a $30 delivery surcharge applies.

Yes of course we deliver to the Old City! There is no surcharge for group deliveries when students arrive at the beginning of the year. For private or top-up orders after their arrival, a $30 delivery surcharge applies.

Nope! We deliver throughout Israel - to schools, yeshivot, seminaries, apartments, private homes, hotels and more. Whether your destination is a major city or a small community, in the north, south or anywhere in between, we'll deliver your order anywhere in Israel.

We only ship within Israel

Our products are located in our warehouse in Bet Shemesh, Israel and we ship from there.

Private Deliveries are typically made within 5 business days (excluding Fridays and Shabbat), although we always try to deliver sooner.

Deliveries to more remote areas, such as Tzfat, Retamim, Hodayot, Eilat and Ma'ale Gilboa, may take a little longer.

School or Program Deliveries are coordinated directly with each school and scheduled around students' arrival dates rather than standard shipping times.

If you need your order sooner, expedited shipping options may be available. Please contact us if you are interested.

For more information see our Shipping page.

First, have them review our Package Pickup Guide, which includes a short video and helpful tips on how to find their packages.

If they still can't locate everything, they should speak to their madrich/madricha or the school office. Packages are often placed in a centralized pickup area, and the staff may know if additional deliveries are expected.

If the package still can't be found, please contact us, and we'll be happy to help track it down.

Please contact us and accept our sincerest apologies. We'll work quickly to replace the missing or damaged item or arrange a refund if appropriate.

We're here to help! If you can't find the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact us by email or WhatsApp. We'd be happy to answer your questions and help you prepare for your child's year in Israel.
