Kedem was born out of urgent necessity.
In the wake of trauma to respond to the deep needs of a nation experiencing collective trauma, and to engage in inclusive rehabilitation.
On the day after October 7th, treatment groups began to operate with a small fund, returning again and again every day to provide care. Since then, thousands of people — evacuees, bereaved families, soldiers, women, and children — have received support and treatment in dozens of locations across the country. Today, Kedem operates with over 300 therapists monthly, alongside doctors, soldiers, and volunteers. Treatment centers have been established in more than 40 different localities, with dedicated teams of therapists and researchers. Kedem provides accessible, precise, and integrative care — a therapeutic experience that bridges between different therapeutic approaches, between body and mind, and between individual healing and community resilience.

Organizational Structure and Integrative Innovation
At Kedem, care, research, and training form a continuous, integrated cycle: clinical insights spark research questions, research findings sharpen therapeutic tools, and trainings ensure that proven knowledge is shared responsibly and widely. We champion body-based neural healing, bridging ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technologies, human touch with biological monitoring, and breath and movement with neurological function. Kedem makes these therapies accessible to all, honoring the whole person—body, mind, and consciousness.
Kedem rests on three central pillars
Healing Farm – A therapeutic and rehabilitation center in the heart of nature, implementing somatic and neurological protocols to heal the nervous system.
Research Fund – Scientifically develops and evaluates the impact of integrative approaches and advanced technologies, establishing them as proven clinical models.
Therapist Training Program – Disseminates knowledge gained from research and fieldwork, preparing a new generation of professional therapists to implement these methods in the community.
Mind
The mind needs a safe space in order to allow itself to feel and to reorganize.
We offer individual and group processes that provide containment, support, and respect for each person’s internal pace. We believe in every mind’s capacity to heal and grow
Consciousness
Practices such as mindfulness and meditation help connect to the present moment, expand awareness, find meaning, and illuminate the light of the soul. This is complete healing—body, mind, and consciousness together
Body
At Kedem, we view the body as a gateway to renewal.
The body’s ability to achieve neural well-being, regulation, and balance forms the foundation for growth, transformation, and healing.
Through techniques such as SNF, cold exposure, breathing, and movement, we activate the vitality and sense of safety that reside within us
We are in the process of establishing a therapeutic farm that will allow us to expand our reach. Currently, we serve 300 people receiving treatment free of charge. The new therapeutic farm will enable us to see
1,000 people each month and provide broader support to meet growing demand
