A Jewish family that independently owns and operates a Ben & Jerry\u2019s location on New York\u2019s Upper West Side announced on Monday that they will donate 10 percent of their profits to \u201cIsrael educational causes\u201d in the wake of the ice-cream maker\u2019s decision to no longer sell its products in the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt like it was the right thing to do given everything that\u2019s going on,\u201d store owner Joel Gasman told\u00a0The Algemeiner<\/em>. He also said business had been impacted since Ben & Jerry\u2019s made its announcement on July 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pace of our business has slowed. We\u2019ve lost some foot traffic as well as bigger catering jobs that usually help us during the summer. We can\u2019t put a number to it just yet,\u201d he explained. \u201cThankfully, we\u2019ve received a lot of good will and local support since we released our statement. We are grateful for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement posted on the Facebook page of their store, the Gasman family\u00a0said<\/a>: \u201cWe feel the recent actions by its corporate office do not reflect our personal views, and we\u2019re saddened by the impact that this has had on our business and the Jewish community. We are proud Jews, Americans, and active supporters of the New York Jewish community and State of Israel. We think the only concern you should have when coming into our store is deciding if you want rainbow or chocolate sprinkles!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStarting today we\u2019ll be donating 10% of our profits to State of Israel educational causes,\u201d the post continued. \u201cAt this time, we ask for your support so that we can continue to operate and, in turn, support our community.<\/span><\/p>\n
