Ahavat Achim and Glen Rock Jewish Center Support IDF Veterans

“These are the soldiers who give Israel ‘Peace of Mind’ So friends, it is our duty to help them find their Peace of Mind”, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Zt"l. IDF soldiers were rushed into battle in the aftermath of the most heinous attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The destruction, the sights of families murdered in their homes, will stay with them forever. Based on past experience we estimate that 80% will suffer to some degree from post-traumatic stress. Metiv stands beside IDF veterans at the moment when the battle has ended, but the war inside has not. Day after day, veterans arrive carrying memories that do not fade with time—images, sounds, and losses that follow them home and into their families. Metiv provides a safe, professional space where those experiences can finally be named, felt, and understood, guided by expert therapists who specialize in trauma rooted in combat and moral injury. Through evidence-based treatment, innovative research, and programs such as Peace of Mind, Metiv helps veterans move from survival to healing. Here, they are not asked to be strong or silent; they are invited to be human. By restoring emotional balance, rebuilding trust, and strengthening resilience, Metiv helps veterans reclaim their lives
