Student Reservist Support
After months or years on the front lines, student reservists are returning to uncertainty. University of Haifa is providing the stability to move forward.
caught between two worlds
When student reservists are called to serve, they don’t hesitate. They leave their studies, their jobs, and their daily lives to defend Israel. It is a constant pull between two realities.
Many are navigating months away from academic life at a time as well as lost income and the psychological toll of service, including stress, anxiety, and PTSD.
For too many, these challenges put their ability to stay enrolled in their studies at risk.
My wife always says to me, ‘You’re not really here.’ And mentally, she’s right. Going back and forth between the army and my studies feels like constant whiplash. It’s been incredibly hard to concentrate. But through it all, the University has been there for me.
