Meeting with the Officers of Tomorrow
Alongside the support the organization provides to active soldiers and their families, it is equally important to prepare the next generation — those who will become the officers of tomorrow — to offer emotional and psychological support to the soldiers under their command. To this end, we conducted two sessions — the first via Zoom […]
Nature as a Healing Space
In recent weeks, the organization has partnered with Rashi Farm, established by attorney Sivan Yosef Salma. Located just outside Zichron Ya’akov, the site is surrounded by a landscape of green and blue, and includes a winery operated by Eliyahu Shimoni — an active reservist and a combat soldier from the Givati Brigade — who is […]
Please, God, please heal them.

The Organization Visits Border Police Soldiers

Women’s Day at HELPTSD
This year, like every other day, Women’s Day takes on a different, more complex meaning. This year, we think of our sisters who have been taken captive, and we pray for their swift return.
