RIPPLES OF HEALING
At the Nitzanim-Hatashtit Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator
The events of October 7th and the ensuing war have thrust Israel into an unprecedented reality. In the 75 years of our existence, never have we witnessed anything as harrowing. Thousands of civilians were exposed to the massacre in real time, and those directly impacted—whether injured, survivors, their families, residents of southern border communities, or soldiers—are now grappling with profound emotional trauma.
"Ripples of Healing" is an initiative that fosters recovery, balance, and renewal, helping trauma victims regain their functionality and return to an optimal quality of life.
Since the outbreak of war, we have provided over 12,000 emergency treatments to children, adolescents, adults, soldiers, and reservists. This totals approximately 50,000 hours of one-time and ongoing therapeutic interventions—delivered on a volunteer basis to those arriving both in organized groups and independently. These treatments have helped alleviate the intensity of trauma, manage recurring anxiety, and equip recipients with tools for emotional resilience. The impact is clear: those treated have reported a marked improvement in their ability to cope with anxiety, depression, guilt, and flashbacks, as well as a notable return to normal functioning in their personal and professional lives, including on the battlefield. Many have described this transformation as a "return to life."
We invite you to help us continue providing life-saving support to the southern communities and frontline soldiers. Now is the time to offer critical care during the trauma phase, helping them reclaim their lives and prevent the shadow of PTSD from defining their futures. With your support, they can not only survive but rebuild, grow, and dream once again.
Now is the time—before it's too late.

"I arrived at Einot Bar physically and mentally drained. The moment I entered, something inside me began to calm down. The atmosphere, the space, and the incredible staff, with their quiet professionalism, were beyond words. I finished the day renewed, with fresh air in my lungs and a smile on my face"
"My father has been dealing with PTSD since the Yom Kippur War. After several encounters with terrorists, I feared I would follow in his footsteps. However, after coming here, I now see it's possible to release and process what I've been through"
