Passing the spirit forward. Finding strength to keep moving.
At Dor Habarzel, we connect combat veterans with young people, giving them opportunities to keep leading, making a difference and finding purpose through meaningful work.
For veterans living with the effects of military service, connection and a sense of mission can be meaningful parts of personal recovery and growth.
Working with young people gives veterans a sense of mission, worth and capability.
For veterans living with post-traumatic stress, meaningful, appropriately adapted work may support recovery alongside suitable professional care.
Educational work is not a substitute for professional treatment.
Veterans work as instructors and activity leaders in schools, preparation groups and educational journeys, receiving fair and respectful pay for their contribution.
We connect combat veterans with the next generation and celebrate them as role models in Israeli society.
Through these relationships, veterans experience recognition, appreciation and a sense of belonging among young people and the wider community.
Alongside our educational work, we are developing a veterans' community with retreats, inspirational workshops, personal development days and opportunities for growth.
Veterans share their experience, values and spirit with the next generation. In return, they gain purpose, income, recognition and human connection — support that can help them build the next chapter of their lives.
Because connection is our story.
You still have so much to give. And we have so much to offer you.
