Planned Giving – Mission Statement 

In the United States, Beit Halochem USA/FIDV (House of the Warriors), is a not-for-profit, tax exempt [501(c)(3)] organization that raises critical operational funds to support our state-of-the-art Beit Halochem rehabilitation centers in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva, and the new center under construction in Ashdod.

Beit Halochem USA/FIDV is the only authorized institution whose purpose is to facilitate the rehabilitation of disabled Israeli veterans at the state-of-the-art Beit Halochem (House of the Warriors) centers in Israel, which for many become a kind of second home.

Beit Halochem USA/FIDV raises awareness and funds for a broad range of social, cultural, sports training and competition programs, PTSD services, scholarship opportunities, development of new initiatives, and provision of specialized equipment for the centers.

What We Do – We Help Empower Our Heroes to Rebuild Their Lives.

Our Beit Halochem centers provide individualized therapeutic treatments, sports and recreational facilities, cultural and educational programs, scholarship support, and family-oriented activities to help these defenders of Israel resume lives of purpose and dignity.

Beit Halochem USA/FIDV works in cooperation with the Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization (ZDVO), established in 1949 in the wake of the War of Independence to provide the then 6,000 disabled veterans from that war with the care and treatments they needed to succeed in the long process of rehabilitation.

Since that time, thousands of new members, wounded during their active or reserve military service have joined the ranks of Beit Halochem, which today number more than 51,000.

Limited and challenged by their serious handicaps, many disabled veterans find it difficult to reestablish the regular routines so necessary to physical, mental and social well-being. Beit Halochem provides a place where the disabled are encouraged to renew social contacts, thus extricating them from feelings of isolation and depression that are often experienced after being wounded in combat and training activities.

Sadly, after many wars and countless acts of terrorism, their numbers continue to grow. The debt of gratitude that we in the greater Jewish world owe them is immeasurable. Beit Halochem centers offer physical therapy, medical treatment, and many sports, social, family, and cultural activities.

Beit Halochem USA/FIDV celebrates the men and women who protect and serve Israel: we commit to raising needed critical funds for the many specialized therapies, programs and unique opportunities offered by Beit Halochem.
