Homecoming, healing, hope – thanks to our supporters

 

Dear supporters,

 

Dear friends of Friends of Chaim Sheba e.V.,

Since our support association was founded in 1991, you have stood firmly by the side of the Chaim Sheba Medical Center – the largest hospital in the Middle East.

 

Thanks to your support, Sheba can treat people regardless of religion or nationality and promote projects

that strengthen understanding and cooperation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

 

Since the beginning of this week, we have witnessed something deeply moving: the last surviving hostages have returned home.

 

In the early hours of October 13, Sheba Medical Center welcomed 10 of the returnees –

with professional expertise, protected privacy, and the gentle support of their families.

 

These were moments when an entire country held its breath: tears of joy, relief, quiet sadness, and new hope—all at once.

 

We are humbled to witness this reunion and to be able to contribute to the beginning of healing.

At the same time, it has become clear to us that the real work is only just beginning!

 

In addition to the hostages who have returned home and their families, the entire devastated country and all those affected need comprehensive support.

 

We also think of the survivors of the Nova Festival, the soldiers,

all relatives and friends, and also the paramedics and first responders who have experienced and seen unspeakable things.

 

We know that true healing is more than medicine.

It must encompass all people living in Israel so that trust can grow and peace can one day be possible again.

 

What is needed is long-term and reliable help:

trauma therapy and crisis intervention, rehabilitation, psychosocial support for children and families,

as well as resilience programs for nursing staff and medical teams – across communities, for all those affected.

 

All this is only possible because people like you support Sheba's work.

 

With sincere thanks for everything you have already made possible and with confidence in what we will continue to achieve together in the future,

 

With warm regards,

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Judit Edelstein
