Peace of Mind @ Highland Park / Edison 2024

“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. Young Israelis, who serve in combat units in dangerous and high pressure situations, often are impacted by traumatic events that affect their emotional and mental well being in many areas of life. The Peace of Mind program affords an intense therapeutic program to heal these wounds. A key component of this process takes place while the unit is hosted for a week by Jewish communities overseas. The distance from Israel and the outpouring of communal support during this phase of the therapeutic process, play a crucial role in creating a safe, quiet and supportive environment where participants can let their guards down to fully engage in this healing process. The gratitude and warmth received from Diaspora Jewish communities, gives veterans a sense of love, support and appreciation. Participants in this program record significant increases in social support, healthier functioning in everyday life, positive emotional regulation, a decrease in depressive symptoms and more fulfilling relationships with their families whether it be as a child, spouse and/or a parent as well. With your support, these young men and women, who have sacrificed and risked so much, will have the opportunity to participate in Fall 2024 in the Peace of Mind program taking place at in Highland Park / Edison / New Brunswick. Thank you for allowing our veterans to get the Peace of Mind they need and so rightfully deserve.
