Jewish Federations Help Open First of 16 Mental Health Center in Israel

With Federation’s help, the first of 16 community-based mental health centers in Israel has officially opened, providing much-needed services to more than 200,000 people annually and allowing them to get help without the stigma associated with mental illness. This past summer, Jewish Federations contributed nearly $7 million to the Mental Health in the Community program. The center, located in the Hadassah Youth Neurim Village in Beit Yanai, supports the acute, immediate and specific needs of first responders, reservists and special forces. Jewish Federations of North America President & CEO Eric D. Fingerhut and Israeli Minister of Health Uriel Menachem Busso (pictured above) attended the ribbon-cutting. The center was established in memory of Niv Raviv and Nirel Zini, a young couple tragically murdered on October 7 at their home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza, who dreamed of improving the lives of those suffering from PTSD.
