Ruthie is joining as U.S. Chapter Director – Planetherapy, with the goal of establishing and leading the organization’s activities in the United States, expanding support for Israeli and Jewish communities in the diaspora, and strengthening our global resilience network.
Ruthie brings extensive professional expertise and a deep understanding of the Israeli heart living far from home. She wrote an important article on this complexity, published in eJewishPhilanthropy, the flagship magazine of the global Jewish philanthropic and communal world.
In the article, Ruthie gives a name to the psychological complexity many Israelis living abroad are experiencing during this period — the sense of disconnection, guilt, constant worry for Israel, and the need for a supportive community that understands our language, even when words are hard to find.
Through her article, Ruthie makes the often invisible distress of Israelis in the diaspora a spoken and recognized reality.
For us at Planetherapy, turning this emotional overflow into a clear roadmap for coping and resilience is key to providing effective support to Israelis abroad who are navigating the complexity of these times.
We highly recommend reading the full article:
