The old name itself was controversial, and has a story you will hear about in the interview. A few notes (from Tzvi himself) about the new name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">The company is now starting to import its own wines, and with their main customers being people in middle America, it made sense to have something simple, catchy, which still bears a connection to what it is about, and is not politically charged. Furthermore, after many requests from residents of Judea and Samaria, and promises to change the name, they finally owned up to their word and changed it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">Practically, Judea and Samaria is too long a name. They went for something universal and simple.

With a background on Wall St., he made aliyah to Israel in 2010. The story of West Bank Wines started in 2015 with a chance encounter, while Tzvi was working for a an NGO called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/worldbeytenu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Yisrael Beytenu<\/a>. From there Tzvi began working on building an American brand for Lev Ha&#8217;olam, a company distributing various boutique goods from mom &amp; pop producers in Judea &amp; Samaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Tzvi eventually realized that the product he had a calling for was actually hiding in plain sight and pivoted the project to wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">After looking up&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/viewer?mid=1XJhGFUMX-5SrmkZ1wJQnd_ejmiI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;ll=32.162625736897326%2C35.33578066406244&amp;z=9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Israeli Wineries through Google Maps<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.westbankwines.com\/our-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tzvi brought a list to his now business partner Yehoshua Werth<\/a>&nbsp;in Monsey, NY, and they now regularly feature wines from Judea and Samaria, and you can follow their reviews and events on social media.

These wineries are run by very special people, who are keenly aware of the place they live in, and the revival of Judea &amp; Samaria through its booming wine industry. Every winery has a Biblical and Jewish history story linked with the location, and that story is the key to appreciating the wine. As Erez Ben Saadon of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turawinery.com\/en\/home-english\/\">Tura Winery<\/a> said, \u201cWhen you love the Land, the Land loves you back\u201d. A land that was mostly desolate for near two millennia becoming fruitful and productive again is a testament to the deep love of a people to their homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The name \u201cWest Bank\u201d Wines naturally had people raise their hackles, on both sides of the fence. Tzvi talks about how he arrived at this name as well as some of the reactions he has received, and the impact it had on his resolve to keep the name&#8230;which has now changed to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartofisrael.wine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heart of Israel Wines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Some fascinating research has been done into the grapes indigenous to the region, the history of how these grapes were forgotten, and how the grapes we now have in Israel, got there. That, and other areas of history, research and stories are discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Links to content from the
