Healing Trips For Our HeroesMore
Our 10-day tours of cities like Miami, Los Angeles, and New York provide recovering soldiers with memories that will last a lifetime.

Months later, when they are ready, we give them this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see America and create a network of support. It also allows them the best therapy of all – fun!

Three warm home-cooked meals are provided daily in the Belev Echad house for wounded soldiers coming for treatment, their families, and anyone who wishes to join.

Visiting the WoundedMore
Belev Echad has visited every hospital in Israel every day since the war began. Here, the soldiers connect with our program and appreciate the support offered from day one. We also deliver packages containing everything a newly wounded soldier would need after leaving the battlefield.

Medical TreatmentMore
At the war’s onset, Belev Echad transformed its program facility into a rehabilitation center to assist with hospital overflow. Full-time medical staff are available throughout the day to provide therapy and treatment for the newly wounded soldiers as they recover, and crucial medical supplies are always fully stocked. Located a 5-minute drive from the Tel Hashomer hospital, and with the help of our minivan, the Belev Echad house enables soldiers to come for treatment easily.
