On this evening of the "Namal Mivtachim" unit – a training center for the treatment and rehabilitation of victims of kidnapping and vague loss, we stopped together to think about the complex point in time in which we now find ourselves: the moment when the rescue has ended – and the return, with its psychological, family, community and public meanings, is just beginning.
The conversation discussed the difficult questions of the "now":
What is needed after the return of the kidnapped – the living and the dead?
What do rehabilitation processes look like in a reality that still has no clear end?
And how is it right to work therapeutically, communally and systemically at the current crossroads?
