“I insisted we serve Israeli wine,” the Chicago businessman and founder of the Buy Israel Goods website said. He had visited Israel as a tourist and in his position as an investment banker to the food industry and was searching for ways to help the Jewish state.

“It doesn’t cost any more to buy Israeli products, and they are superior products in most cases,” he said.

Not every American Jew can visit Israel. And even if you do go on a trip or mission to Israel, you do that maybe once a year, maybe once in a lifetime.

It was Buffett’s first major investment outside the U.S. Up to that point, he would always say that he could always find good stocks just in this country.

Then the Sage of Omaha’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, paid $4 billion for an 80 percent share of Iscar Metalworking, and he said at the time that he was looking for other low-priced jewels.
