To support the people of Israel, support NATAN.
Across the globe, today is Giving Tuesday – a day that honors (and encourages) the human instinct for tikkun olam – the drive to build a better world.
Even in times of darkness, this human instinct sparks bright.
In the weeks since October 7, NATAN volunteers have touched the lives of 1500+ patients – and extended emotional support to hundreds more evacuees, from the youngest children to their siblings, parents, grandparents, and communities.
The need is great; the human spirit is greater.. Please help NATAN help the people of Israel by giving generously today
RESILIENCE CENTER, Mishor Hagefen, Ofakim
Fifty days after the October 7 pogrom, the Neighborhood Reslience Center in Ofakim is a reality.
On Sunday November 26, the Resilience Center opened its doors and welcomed residents of the Mishor Hagefen neighborhood in Ofakim, which suffered profound losses on October 7.
The center will be a hub for trauma intervention/mental health care, social services and community connection, including psychosocial programs for children, young people and adults, under the direction of Dr. Eitan Shachar, director of NATAN’s psychosocial team.
NATAN’s clinics in Shefayim, the Dead Sea, and Eilat continue to provide essential medical and psychosocial care for evacuees from the Gaza Strip.

Embodying NATAN’s mission: When the need is there, so are we.
A Canadian NATAN supporter, Myriam Dahan, DMD, was part of a fact-finding tour of Israel on behalf of Shaar Hashomayim, her home community in Westmount, Quebec. But Dr Dahan came to do more than observe: She rolled up her sleeves to treat patients during a visit to NATAN’s dental clinic in Eilat. .
