The Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund will be hosting its first annual Trauma Symposium for the parents and therapists of Israeli children who grew up in communities affected by Arab terror.

The convention entitled ‘Growing up in the Shadow of Complex Security’, will take place on Dec 23, 2021 in the Samarian region of Israel.

The keynote speaker David Rubin heads the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund and is the former mayor of the town Shiloh, where the event is scheduled to take place.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed book ‘Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn From Israel.’

Other speakers include trauma specialists, couples counselors, and clinical therapists. 

The convention will feature a musical performance by Avichai Hollander, an artist who sings about wounded IDF soldiers and victims of terrorism. 

The date for the event was selected as it marks the twenty-year anniversary of the day when Rubin and his son were victims of a bloody terrorist shooting attack. Since that fateful day, Rubin has made it his mission to help rehabilitate Israeli children affected by Islamic terrorism throughout Israel.

According to Rubin, the reason for the organization’s establishment: “to heal the trauma of terrorism and to build a brighter future for the children of Israel.”

The convention is to take place at the Mifgash Therapy Center in Shiloh. Entrance is free but spots are limited.
