At a retreat perched above the Dead Sea, some 40 young Israeli victims of terror gathered to confront the trauma that has defined their lives since October 7. For some, it was the first time they had left their homes or spoken openly about their experiences – especially in a group of peers who truly understand.

Leah, 25, agreed: “I’ve been to several retreats since October 7, and this was the most life-changing and helpful. I came because I realised I could not continue on my own anymore and found that others felt that way as well. Volunteer therapists gave practical tools such as writing, thankfulness, and other workshops to help us cope.
