The Israel Basketball Association, in collaboration with the Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization and the Center for Jewish Impact, has introduced the 'Back in the Game' initiative to aid IDF veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This program has established four basketball teams in Ashdod, Netanya, the Upper Galilee, and Samaria, offering veterans a structured environment with weekly practices, professional coaching, and psychological support. Former Israel national player Raviv Limonad leads the initiative, which has received significant backing from philanthropist Richard Deitz. The launch event featured a tournament, highlighting the importance of sport in the rehabilitation process. Israel Basketball Association chairman Amos Frishman emphasized the initiative's significance, noting that it provides veterans with a chance to reconnect and rebuild their lives through basketball. Yossi Matityahu, CEO of the Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization, described the program as a vital step in helping veterans regain trust and routine. The collaboration aims to foster community healing and support for those affected by military service.
