Today's guest, Chava Kleinman, tells us the real story. Since the horrors of October 7, 2023, Israel has not known peace\u2014not even for a moment. But while headlines focus on geopolitics, airstrikes, and ceasefires, Chava Kleinman, Vice President of the Shiloh Israel Children\u2019s Fund, sees the war through a different lens: that of children gripped by trauma, families living under the constant threat of rocket fire, and soldiers cycling in and out of battle with visible and invisible scars.  For Kleinman, this isn\u2019t theoretical. It\u2019s daily life. As someone who works hands-on with terror survivors\u2014many of them young children\u2014she can speak to the emotional cost that doesn\u2019t show up in military briefings. \u201cSince October 7, it\u2019s been a different world,\u201d she says. \u201cNot just for those on the frontlines, but for every mother, every child, every teacher trying to keep a sense of normal.\u201d Chava Kleinman, M.S.W., is a social worker with over 25 years of experience in Israel, now serving as vice-president of Shiloh Israel Children\u2019s Fund (SICF). Chava is in charge of coordinating SICF\u2019s vast array of crisis intervention initiatives. Especially since the October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, but also during previous waves of terrorism, she has been on the front lines, offering critical expertise to support affected individuals and communities. is also an accomplished author, educator, and international presenter.
