Israel Foundation USA proudly
announces the establishment of The Love Israel Foundation Fund in
collaboration with the Community Foundation for Ocala/Marion

understanding and cooperation between Jewish and Christian
communities globally.
The Love Israel Foundation, a distinguished organization

address critical humanitarian needs in Israel. In light of the recent conflict
exacerbating these challenges, The Love Israel Foundation Fund aims
to provide critical assistance to affected members of the military,
families, those left homeless, and vulnerable women and children
suffering from the consequences of conflict.
"We invite all who Love Israel to
become partners with the Love Israel Foundation (USA) and join us in our mission to build a
real divine bridge between the Christian and Jewish Community,"
remarked Mr. Stan Hanson, Founder of
The Love Israel Foundation (USA).
Simultaneously, Love Israel Foundation USA is launching a groundbreaking initiative
to address the PTSD epidemic in Israel following the devastating October 7th, 2023, attack by Hamas. Partnering
with world-renowned expert Dr. Edna
Foa and Professor Nethaniel
Laor of the National PTSD Clinic Center in Tel Aviv, Love
Israel is committed to providing specialized training to
Israeli healthcare professionals in PTSD therapy.
Dr. Foa, a senior professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the
Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety, will personally
train and certify over 150 Israeli health professionals in her
proven clinical approach to PTSD recovery. With a success rate of
90%, this initiative aims to equip a dedicated group of specialists
to provide crucial support to those in need.
"Our mission is clear: to restore health and hope to the people
of Israel," stated Mr. Stan Hanson,
Founder of Love Israel Foundation USA. "Through our partnership with
Dr. Foa and Professor Laor, we are taking decisive action to
address the psychological scars left by the Hamas attack."
To fund these vital endeavors, Love Israel Foundation
USA has set a target of
$510,000. Donations can be made at
