Join us for a family-friendly community walk to raise awareness about the urgent mental health challenges facing Jewish and Israeli communities, especially among at-risk youth. This walk is held in memory of three brave ELEM volunteers, Lior Hadad-Atias, Sigal Levy, and Yonatan Richter, who lost their lives during the tragic attack at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, as they were volunteering at the festival with ELEM’s Anashim Tovim program. Their commitment to helping vulnerable youth continues to inspire us all. All proceeds will be donated to American Friends of ELEM.

About ELEM:

ELEM is Israel's leading nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of at-risk youth from all backgrounds who face abuse, homelessness, addiction, and the trauma of war. Serving over 13,000 young people annually, we offer compassionate, non-judgmental support through therapy, mentoring, school-based programs, and community drop-in centers. Our professionals and volunteers meet youth where they are: in schools, on the streets, and online, building trust even with those who are unlikely to seek help elsewhere.

We envision a future where every young person receives the mental health support they need, is integrated into society, and is empowered to lead a safe, stable, and fulfilling life.
