Restart, a nonprofit that helps wounded IDF and security forces veterans return to work, study and life, will hold its tribute day event for wounded IDF and security forces veterans on November 23, 2026. The event will take place at Reichman University in Herzliya and begins at 18:00. It will be hosted by Alon Neuman.
The evening is built around the veterans' own stories. Alongside a fair supporting businesses and creators from the Restart community, where wounded veterans will present the businesses and work they have built, there will be short TED-style talks on the rehabilitation journey. Yinon Tayeb will speak on 'the battle after the battle', Sharon Levi on 'really walking', and a panel titled 'the angle you didn't know' will address head injuries, one of the less discussed issues in rehabilitation. The evening will close with a musical ensemble of community members.
Restart was founded by wounded IDF veterans together with volunteers from business and tech, and is still run through that partnership. It offers veterans personalized rehabilitation support, including mentoring by industry professionals and connections to study and employment. In recent years, as the number of wounded has grown sharply, it has expanded its activity, including through a partnership with Reichman University.
The event's slogan, 'All of us for one of us', reflects the idea behind the organization: rehabilitation is not only a medical matter but an effort by all of society. For the tech community, many of whose members serve as mentors with the organization, it is also a chance to meet the people they support.
Seats are limited and registration is required. Details and registration are available through the link on the organization's Instagram page, restartglobal_il.
