The need for philanthropic investment to support mental health care and resilience in Israel since 10/7/23 has been profound and the urgency unrelenting. Join JFN's Mindfulness & Mental Health Peer Network to learn from a mapping of the philanthropic field in Israeli mental health and resilience, and where the gaps are. The research was conducted by JFN’s Israel-based Mental Social Resilience and Philanthropic Response Funder Interest Group.

On the newest episode of What Gives? The Jewish Philanthropy Podcast, JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny speaks to Dr. Noam Weissman, an educator and media expert who has pioneered new ways to tell Israel’s story and educate young people about the complexities and beauty of Zionism and Jewish history. Noam is the Senior Vice President at OpenDor Media, a nonprofit media company producing thought-provoking content to connect this generation with Israel and the broader Jewish story. We explore Noam’s approach to storytelling; one that is sophisticated, credible, and ultimately empowering for the next generation.
