Peace of Mind UK - Brondesbury Park Synagogue 2026

Aim: Brondesbury Park Synagogue sponsoring trauma recovery programme for Israeli veterans, including hosting them in London for one week in 2026.

We are thrilled that in 2026 Brondesbury Park Synagogue will be hosting Israeli veterans recovering from trauma through the Peace of Mind programme. Your donation helps us sponsor their complete 9-month healing journey, including their week with us in London.

About Peace of Mind Peace of Mind is a gold-standard trauma recovery programme for Israeli veterans, run by Metiv - the Israel Psychotrauma Centre at Herzog Hospital, Jerusalem. Endorsed by Israel's Ministry of Defence and especially crucial since October 7th, it offers a powerful 9-month therapeutic journey where veterans heal together as a unit, including one special week hosted in our community.

What hosting means for Brondesbury Park

• See the transformation in our community - witness firsthand how veterans heal and rebuild their lives during their week with us, not just sending money to Israel
• Whole community involvement - from hosts and volunteer drivers/cooks to young people and families, everyone invited for special services and community social events with the veterans
• Build lasting connections - staying in our homes and being part of our community creates deep personal relationships with Israel's defenders that continue for years
• Strengthen our mental health culture - supporting trauma recovery and witnessing healing journeys encourages openness and reduces stigma

"Through Peace of Mind, we learned to be ourselves. We can open up, we don't have to carry our combat experiences alone. We became better partners and better parents." - Veteran testimonial

Your donation supports the full programme including follow-up care, ensuring sustained healing for Israel's defenders.
