On Nov-30, 2023, American Friends of NATAL hosted its annual gala at 583 Park Avenue in New York City, marking a night of reflection, resilience, and hope. Held just weeks after the tragic events of October 7, the evening carried even greater significance, bringing together a community committed to supporting trauma recovery in Israel during an especially challenging time.
This year’s gala honored Dr. Itamar Barnea, NATAL's Chief Psychologist and former POW during the Yom Kippur War, and Ofer Yardeni, Chairman and CEO of Stonehenge NYC, for their dedication to mental health and philanthropy. The event also commemorated key milestones—NATAL's 25th anniversary, the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, and Israel’s 75th year of independence—while underscoring the urgent need for NATAL’s work in the wake of recent attacks.
