Peace of Mind is coming to Young Israel of Scarsdale

May 18-25, 2025!



We are thrilled to be hosting a group of IDF veterans through Peace of Mind. We have the opportunity to provide these heroes space, hospitality and chizuk as they participate in a weeklong therapy workshop in a Jewish community outside of Israel. We need our community’s participation to make this experience meaningful and impactful for our IDF veterans.


There are so many different ways to get involved to create a memorable and impactful experience for our IDF heroes and for our community. We need lots of volunteers to help coordinate all aspects of their visit!  


Please click here to read about the various committees created to manage different aspects of the program and please indicate if you would like to be a part of any of these committees.


Save the date for a community Friday Night Shabbat Dinner with our IDF Heroes on May 23, 2025. More details to follow.
