What it is about
A new Mobile Holistic Health Unit has been launched in the memory of Amit Mann, a dedicated Israeli paramedic who paid the ultimate sacrifice. On October 7th, a year and a half ago, she was tragically murdered while heroically treating the wounded during a Hamas attack at Be’eri clinic. Now, her spirit lives on through this initiative to provide much-needed emotional and physical relief to war-torn communities in Israel.
Why it matters
The mobile unit honors Amit Mann’s legacy of selfless service and extends her compassionate touch to those who continue to endure the traumas of war near the Gaza border and throughout Israel. The unit offers holistic treatments, aiding in trauma recovery and reinforcing the crucial bonds within the Israeli community.
The dedication ceremony in Sderot
A poignant event marking the launch of the mobile unit took place last week in Sderot. What began as a day of remembrance transitioned into hope and healing, as Mann’s family, friends, and fellow medical workers paid tribute to her memory with the inauguration of this new path to provide relief beyond words.
Power of personal connections
Lena Shtern, the passionate chairwoman of the Yuri Shtern Holistic Center, shared stories of meaningful encounters with survivors and Mann’s family, particularly her mother, Rachel, who saw this project as the perfect commemoration of her daughter’s giving nature and dedication to others.
A brave legacy continues
Amit’s service was marked by acts of courage even when facing grave danger. Her unwavering commitment is celebrated through this initiative, which continues to take her mission forward. By tending to vulnerable populations in various community settings, the mobile unit delivers a holistic program including shiatsu, reflexology, and acupuncture—treatments synonymous with unity and recovery.
Committed to community strength
As symbols of endurance despite adversity, Amit’s inspirational actions showcase the essence of Israeli perseverance and solidarity. The Holistic Mobile Unit detailed in this report coveys a powerful message: in times of distress, kindness, and unity prevail. This initiative promises healing to countless individuals, facilitated by dedicated volunteers across conflict-torn areas, rebuilding bridges where only turbulence existed.
