To help, Federation's Israel Crisis Relief Fund – your donations – directly supported Bshvil Hamachar (The Path for Tomorrow), an organization that aims to relieve IDF combat veterans of the acute emotional and psychological effects of combat-related trauma. Watch this video to learn how Bshvil Hamachar equips soldiers with tools to overcome their trauma.
