In the wake of October 7 and the longest war in Israel’s history, Israelis are facing profound emotional, social, and spiritual challenges. Countless individuals, families, and soldiers continue to navigate trauma, loss, and the difficult work of rebuilding daily life.In this powerful webinar hosted by American Friends of Bar-Ilan University (AFBIU), Prof. Rivka Tuval-Mashiach — clinical psychologist, trauma expert, and Bar-Ilan’s Vice President for International Affairs & Third Mission — and Prof. Noa Vilchinsky — rehabilitation psychologist and Dean of the Division of Designated Programs — explore how Bar-Ilan’s “Third Mission” is transforming trauma into strength and helping secure Israel’s future. Moderated by Harvey Kaminski, AFBIU National Board Member, the conversation highlights Bar-Ilan’s pioneering initiatives such as the Shalom Project, which helps wounded soldiers reclaim their lives through education, as well as the Academic Resilience Center, which supports students and communities across Israel in building emotional resilience and long-term recovery. Your partnership makes this work possible. Together, we can help ensure that Israel’s strength, spirit, and future generations not only endure, but thrive.🔗 Support Bar-Ilan’s Academic Resilience Center and related initiatives:https://afbiu.org/donation/academic-resilience-center📧 Questions or follow-up:webinar@afbiu.org
