'It took me more than 10 years to admit that I suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder'
The Israeli association BeLev Echad ("a heart for all," which could also easily be translated as "wearing your heart on your sleeve") helps soldiers, police officers and members of the security forces considered to be war-wounded and in post-traumatic stress.
Founded in 2009 by Rabbi Uriel Vigler and his wife Shevy, the association opened a house in Kyriat Ono in central Israel, not far from Tel Aviv. It is a house for all, intended as a refuge. This is where these young people find companionship and talk to those who look like them: those who are "different" and simultaneously the same. Above all, this house offers them unique living comfort: study rooms, sports facilities, relaxation spaces, and even a swimming pool.
