 To assist the 7,500 North Americans and other Anglos who spend a year in Israel, the EYE SQUAD provides a confidential, independent hotline for those who are experiencing any type of distress. Members of the Eye Squad engage a young adult to communicate that he/she is not alone, and that there is someone (a non-judgmental, impartial person) who exists outside the school/program that will listen, empathize and give constructive advice. The Eye Squad greatly appreciates the support it receives from individual donors, CYIR: Council of Young Israel Rabbis in Israel, the National Council of Young Israel, and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
