Jewish National Fund-USA advances rehabilitation in Israel's South
The latest half-year impact report from ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, a rehabilitation village in southern Israel, shows that Jewish National Fund-USA’s support continues to transform lives through rehabilitation, therapeutic care and resilience programming.
The organization supports innovative and intensive therapies, including specially trained service animals, advanced prosthetic rehabilitation and adaptive technologies, that are helping wounded soldiers regain their independence, empowering individuals with disabilities to discover new ways to communicate and thrive, and providing life-changing healing and hope to families recovering from physical and emotional trauma.
During the first half of the year alone, Jewish National Fund-USA helped support thousands of life-changing treatments and services at ADI Negev, including more than 31,000 inpatient rehabilitation treatments, 25,000 outpatient treatments, more than 11,700 hydrotherapy treatments, more than 9,100 occupational, physical and speech therapy treatments, and specialized therapeutic programs for children and adults with disabilities. The organization also supported rehabilitation services for 50 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers and their families.
“Thanks to the wonderful partnership and generous support of Jewish National Fund-USA, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran continues to reimagine rehabilitation and advance ability for all,” said Elie Klein, director of advancement and ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran liaison to Jewish National Fund-USA. “Their support has allowed us to care for Israel’s most vulnerable citizens while pioneering programs that help individuals with disabilities, civilians and wounded soldiers heal, recover and thrive.”
Jewish National Fund-USA’s support for ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran is part of its Circles of Impact strategy to attract 800,000 new residents to Israel’s North and South. By ensuring that frontier communities have access to world-class healthcare, rehabilitation and inclusive services, Jewish National Fund-USA is helping make the Negev a place where every family—including those caring for loved ones with disabilities or recovering from injury—can build a future with confidence.
“ADI Negev supports us with outstretched arms,” explained a patient who uses the village’s family services. “The way they notice every detail, guide us and embrace our whole family is truly amazing. It feels like a complete circle of care, and it’s magical.”
As demand for rehabilitation and mental health services continues to grow in Israel, Jewish National Fund-USA has supported the expansion of recovery programs. Recent initiatives include the launch of Israel’s first School of Prosthetics and Orthotics, expanded canine, equine and animal-assisted therapies, adaptive sports programs and comprehensive rehabilitation services designed to help wounded soldiers and individuals with disabilities regain independence and rebuild their lives.
“Working together with Jewish National Fund-USA, we are creating new resources to empower Israel’s hardest hit citizens and rebuild the Negev stronger than ever before,” Klein added.
