Operation Embrace 2010

Summer Programs in Sderot

Due to the environment of Kassam rocket attacks, a large percentage of the population in Sderot and surrounding communities suffer from anxiety, trauma and depression. 

In consultation with social workers, Operation Embrace sponsored therapeutic empowerment summer activities for children and families in the Sderot area.   

The therapeutic horseback riding program was made possible from a grant from the Jewish Youth Philanthropy Institute (JYPI) which functions under the auspicies of the Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning (PJLL).
