Thirty of Israel’s leading celebrities and government leaders were recruited to participate in an art exhibition to generate publicity about post-trauma (PTSD) wounded soldiers. The exhibition, created by Yaarit Shoshan, first opened in October 2020 at the MUSA Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv and has since generated significant publicity and impact. The goal of the exhibition is to continue to raise awareness and generate public pressure that will ultimately result in enough political pressure to pass legislation which ensures that all of Israel’s great defenders, our Israel’s soldiers, recieve the support and treatment they deserve following their military service – regardless of whether their injuries are physical, or mental. Yaarit had pictured Itzik Saidian in the original exhibition, well prior to his tragic self-immolation and hospitalization. It was important for Yaarit to present this exhibition again, to keep up the political pressure so that Israel’s parliament will pass meaningful reform and legislation to support soldiers suffering frLorem ipsumom PTSD. So, on May 22, 2022 Yaarit set up the art exhibition in the Tel Aviv Port, and it remained open to the public for three weeks – generating significant media coverage on the local news stations (Channel 12) and in all major print publications, as well as throughout various social media platforms. In September 2022 the exhibition will be displayed in Israel's capital, Jerusalem, at the "Friends of Israel Museum". Along with the photographs of Israel's brave warriors Yaarit also included pictures of Israel’s leading celebrities, intellectuals, and artists. Our soldiers have risked everything for the freedom and security of our Jewish State of Israel. We owe it them, to their parents, to their siblings, and to their children to fight for their rights to treatment of their PTSD, to help end their personal agony as they struggle with returning to civilian life following traumatic battlefield experiences.
